Visit Abrams Planetarium with COGS!
Tuesday, November 12th, 2024 at 7 PM!
COGS invites you to experience Abrams Planetarium with us on November 12th for a spring semester edition of our popular Night Under The Stars with COGS! Discover the wonders of Abrams Planetarium, located in the center of MSU’s campus, with a special FREE show just for MSU graduate and professional students and their accompanied guests. The planetarium hosts a wide range of public programming throughout the year for all ages. This is your chance to check it out! Show lasts approximately 30 minutes and is followed by a 30 minute live presentation of the current evening sky.
Featured show: One Sky Project. One Sky Project is an international collaboration focused on increasing understanding about cultural and Indigenous astronomy, its historical and modern applications, and how our One Sky connects us all. Each short film represents the perspective of a different culture or Indigenous society from around the globe. Each film stands alone as a short story or in combination as a longer narrative‒organized around themes of “Finding Patterns” and developing tools, or as we say, “To Seek Far.
Event is free of charge. No pre-registration needed, but in the event that (140) capacity is reached, attendance is first-come, first-served.
