Star Families: "Celebrate the Night"

Saturday, February 7, 2026 12:00pm to 1:00pm EST

View map

Can you see the Milky Way from your home? Experience a simple demo of what prevents many of us from viewing a sky studded with thousands of stars, discover celestial wonders you can see only under a truly dark sky, and find out how you can help bring back the night.

 

Star Families is a special series by Morehead Planetarium and Science Center that provides a live, family-friendly fulldome experience. Arrive before your show or stay after to journey through Morehead's interactive exhibits, science demo spaces, and Cosmic Goods gift shop.

 

This program is recommended for families and children ages 7+. See you there!
