Imagine the Moon.  Showing Through April.  Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, & Sundays at 12:00pm,  Hurst Planetarium.  When was the last time you looked at the Moon? Not Just noticed it, but really looked at it? To most of us the Moon seems like an afterthought, a thing we might notice in passing and then not give a second glance. But the Moon’s place in our lives is so much more than just its physical presence in the sky. It is a constant companion in our collective imagination. This is a show ESPECIALLY for children! You can catch Imagine the Moon at Noon, every day we’re open! Visit ellasharp.org for more information!   Event page here.
