“Up in the Sky” Presented by Sue Peterson, Robbie Carter, or Tamela Maciel Saturdays and Sundays at 1 pm This show is designed for children of all ages. We introduce you to the night sky and show you how to find the planets, major stars and constellations that are visible in tonight’s sky. We will tell stories and myths from various cultures about the constellations, and also introduce you to some truly amazing stars. This is a live show, so you'll be able to ask questions during the show. The show lasts 30 to 40 minutes. Recommended for all ages (8 and under accompanied by an adult). Sue Peterson is the Planetarium Director at the Science Factory. Robbie Carter and Tamela Maciel are Physics students at UO and Science Factory volunteers.  “The Wildest Weather in the Solar System”Saturdays and Sundays, 2 pm When we think of wild weather, we usually think of tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, even heat waves. Earth does seem to have its share of such nasty weather, but that doesn’t compare with the wild weather on the other planets in our solar system. Explorers on the other planets will find giant hurricane-like storms, titanic lightning bolts, 1000 mph winds, heat waves hot enough to melt lead, places so cold that in the winter the atmosphere freezes onto the surface, and dust storms that can cover an entire planet. Not wild enough weather for you? We’ll give you a glimpse of the biggest and most dangerous storms of all. (Suitable for ages 10 yrs and older.) |
