The David M. Brown Planetarium hosted a NASA Inaugural Weekend gala event on Saturday, January 19th. The event included NASA astronauts and other experts that were on hand to discuss current NASA missions and the future of science exploration. Five full-dome programs were shown during the event followed by a short presentation by Planetarium Director Jonathan Harmon. Telescopes were also on hand for celestial viewing in the plaza surrounding the planetarium.

Public show times are Fridays and Saturdays 7:30 PM and Sundays 1:30 PM and 3:00 PM.
