Ring World Planetarium Show
With Saturn shining bright in the evening sky, join Hardin Planetarium for Ring World, an up close and personal view of this most glorious planet. Unlike previous spacecrafts' visits to Saturn, the Cassini mission is currently orbiting around the giant planet and repeatedly flying past Saturn's moons and ring system.
Hear new discoveries about Saturn itself, as well as its many moons and icy rings. Experience our solar system's ring world up close like never before. Ring World will be presented on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 7pm and on Sunday afternoons at 3pm from August 27 through October 13. Admission is free and shows last approximately 40 minutes. For more information, visit the link below or call 270-745-4044.
