Join us TONIGHT for our October Planetarium Show: Shakespeare's Skies at 7:00 PM!

“O, swear not by the moon, the fickle moon, the inconstant moon…” The works of William Shakespeare have many references to the night sky. In this show, we’ll decode the Bard’s words and see if his science matches up to what we see in the sky.

Tickets for planetarium members are FREE; non-member tickets are $5/person. TICKETS: https://bcfas.org/event/shakespeares-skies-planetarium-show
