We are delighted to serve the Spokane K-12 community with our free K-12 academic presentations. We have no available reservations left for this academic year. We will begin a new set of reservation requests next fall (September of 2024). Look for a website update then.

Planet Nine Movie Cover
Planet Nine

With all the controversy surrounding Pluto’s status as a planet it is easy to lose track of the bigger story—a rich new class of worlds is being uncovered in the outer solar system. These discoveries strongly suggest that there may be an unknown world, far beyond the other eight planets, a world much larger than anything discovered in that region so far. Come join astronomer Mike Brown, “Pluto Killer,” on the journey toward the scientific discovery of the century—the discovery of Planet Nine.

Earth, Moon & Sun

Why do the Sun, Moon, and stars seem to move across the sky? Why are different evening star patterns visible at different times of the year? Why does the Moon seem to change shape from time to time? This amusing and educational planetarium show explores the relationship between Earth, Moon and Sun.
