While Celeste is fighting off sleep in her room by reading a book
on astronomy she receives an unexpected visit from Moon.
Together, they will enjoy a journey through the Universe to discover
what exoplanets are and how they can be detected.
They observe rogue planets, oceanic worlds and super-Earths.
Moon tells her about exoplanet hunters, who observe the sky in search of planets like Earth.
Admission is $8 for adults or $7 for Parkland students,
seniors 65 and older, or children 12 and under.
Tickets can be purchased online or are sold at the door
beginning a half-hour before the show.
Members of the Friends of the Staerkel Planetarium are admitted for free.
