Planetarium

The SFCC Planetarium has concluded its 2023-24 Season!

Thank you for your support, Spokane!

We will be closed for the summer but will return with our K-12 and Public Planetarium Presentations in October of 2024. The K-12 reservation form will be available on October 1 for area educators to request presentations for the 2024-25 academic year.

We will be back in the fall with an updated Public Presentation Series and look forward to seeing you.

In the meantime – be sure to look up at the stars!

Webb's mid-infrared view of galaxy M51. A large spiral galaxy takes up the entirety of the image. The core is mostly bright white, but there are also swirling, detailed structures that resemble water circling a drain. There is white and pale blue light that emanates from stars and dust at the core’s center, but it is tightly limited to the core. The detailed rings feature bands of deep orange and cloudy gray, which are interspersed by darker empty regions throughout.
