Marietta College is excited to offer a free, public showing of “The Cowboy Astronomer” at 7:00 p.m., Thursday, October 16th, in the Anderson Hancock Planetarium.
“The Cowboy Astronomer” is a skillfully woven tapestry of star tales and Native American legends, combined with constellation identification, star-hopping, and astronomy tidbits — all told from the unique viewpoint of a cowboy astronomer who has traveled the world plying his trade and learning the sky along the way.
Each public show includes a live presentation about the current night sky, followed by the full-dome planetarium video and a Q&A period. Donations are welcome, however educational experiences in our planetarium are free and open to the public. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
