Come downtown to the Challenger Learning Center Digital Dome Theatre and Planetarium and enjoy a free planetarium show on November 2 at 10 a.m. "November Skies over Tallahassee" is created and presented by the Tallahassee Astronomical Society. November sky over Tallahassee will be reviewed including prominent constellations, stars and planet positions.
The zodiac constellation Pisces and constellations Perseus and Cetus will be highlighted for Learning Constellations. The ancient story involving the six autumn constellations Cassiopeia, Cepheus, Andromeda, Cetus, Perseus, and Pegasus will be told. The Binocular Object-of-the-Month is M33, the Triangulum Galaxy, the third major galaxy in our local group that also includes our Milky Way galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy. The "Messier Object of the Month" is M74, a beautiful face-on spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces.  Learn where to look for Comet ISON in November.

Be sure to stay for the 11:00 a.m. showing of "Extreme Planets," and learn about the planets astronomers have found around other stars since 1992. This show will be offered at 50% off the regular price for those who attend the November 2nd 10:00 a.m. free planetarium show. Can’t make the free planetarium Show on November 2? "November Skies Over Tallahassee" will play all month as one of the menu of planetarium shows for a nominal fee.
