Home SHOWTIMES Live Talks Colorado Skies

Interested in learning about tonight's sky and the constellations up this time of year?

Want to know what objects to look for with the naked eye, a pair of binoculars or a small telescope?

In this seasonal talk series, we explore the stars, planets, constellations, and deep-sky objects such as galaxies and nebulae using our Megastar projector, which produces a stunning night sky with 10 million stars. We'll give you the tools to go outside, look up and enjoy our amazing Colorado Skies. Bring your questions!

Regular ticket prices apply. CU Boulder students are admitted FREE with valid Buff card.
