40 Years Ago, The Apollo Program and the Planetarium

Has it really been 40 years ago since Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon? It was July 20th, 1969. This planetarium opened 44 days after that, on September 2, 1969. This month we'll celebrate both of these historic events as we see early planetarium and NASA imagery. We'll also have on display some of the equipment used in our planetarium all those years ago.

On Wednesday, July 1st, Tuesday, July 7th, and again on Thursday, July 30th telescopes will be set up along the boardwalk at 24th street from 6pm to almost midnight for your celestial viewing pleasure.

Shown July 14, 21, & 28

Not shown July 7 because I'll be at the Boardwalk.
