Marietta College is excited to offer a free, public showing of “Saturn & Beyond” at 7:00 p.m., Thursday, May 22nd, in the Anderson Hancock Planetarium.
Saturn’s rings are one of the most beautiful sights in the solar system. Astronomers have known about these rings for over 400 years, yet they still present many questions. In 2004, the Cassini spacecraft reached Saturn and sent back volumes of data. Learn the history of the discovery of Saturn’s rings and explore the mysterious features seen by the Cassini space craft. “Saturn & Beyond” was developed at Ball State University © 2017.
Each public show includes a live presentation about the current night sky, followed by the full-dome planetarium video and a Q&A period. Please note that while donations are welcome, educational experiences in our planetarium are free and open to the public with seating available on a first-come, first-served basis.
