Description

Friday Starry Nights 


6pm  Earth, Moon, Sun

See the relationship between the Earth, Moon and Sun with the help of Coyote, an amusing character adapted from Native American oral traditions who has many misconceptions about our home planet and its most familiar neighbors.

Discuss and think about how the Earth, Moon and Sun work together as a system. 

Recommended for age 4 and above.

8pm Stars

Stars focuses on the lives of the stars, how they are born, how they die, and how human understanding of the stars has changed over time.

From Native Americans to Newton, from the electromagnetic spectrum to Einstein, audiences will explore nebulae, star clusters, pulsars, black holes, and more.

The program features the voice talent of Mark Hamill. The Nashville Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Albert-George Schram, resident conductor, performed part of the soundtrack
