Drake Planetarium is now open for the public one evening a month, offering fascinating glimpses into the wonderful world of astronomy and space science.  Each monthly program is divided into two parts: 

1. The first section covers a particular topic of interest, for example, the Mars Lander, asteroids and near Earth collisions, the International Space Station, and the like. 

2. The second part is always an introduction into the nighttime sky.  Each person is given a free sky chart. 

After learning how to use it, they are then taught to recognize the major constellations and planets visible at that season of the year
