Fisk-Vanderbilt Roadshow Planetarium
Saturday, April 9
Free events. Registration required.
In
partnership with Vanderbilt University’s historic Dyer Observatory, the Physics
& Astronomy departments of both Fisk University and Vanderbilt University
are proud to offer a public outreach initiative comprising a large inflatable
planetarium. By projecting a representation of the night sky onto the dome’s
interior, we are able to teach students about the constellations and various
mythologies, the nature of stars, the Sun-Earth-Moon system, the Solar System
planets and their motions, and many other celestial phenomena in a fun yet
informative manner. Register at www.brentwood-tn.org/library.
For questions,
call the Children’s Department at 615-371-0090.
