A Lion Caught Between Two Planets

When: Thu., April 25, 7:15 p.m. 2013

Come and learn about the basic spring constellations and the visible planets Jupiter and Saturn. The four large moons of Jupiter, the largest planet, helped convince Galileo that Copernicus' Sun-centred system was correct. Also the first person to see Saturn's rings, Galileo was astonished when they disappeared. Between these planets, Leo the Lion dominates the southern spring sky. Reservations Required: e-mail planetarium@dal.ca State number of adults and children (8-15) The Show is about an hour long. Full details will be sent before the Show.
