When was the last time you gazed up at the stars? Remember how relaxing and fun it was to explore the last frontier? Avoid the winter evening chill and lie back indoors at the state of the art Clever Planetarium at San Joaquin Delta College. Every month the Clever Planetarium offers public shows that explore different astronomical wonders. January's public show is being hosted tonight and tomorrow night, January 27th and 28th. This month's show, “Astronauts and the Mayan Calendar” offers two unique experiences. First, glimpse an inside view of what the human body faces as astronauts explore outer space and then transport yourself back in time to the stars of the ancient Mayan culture which were incorporated into the Mayan calendar, as well as their legends. Learn how the Mayan calendar was created and why this year is significant. Both shows start at 7:30 pm. Cost is $8.00 for adults and $6.00 for children, students, and seniors.
Or, if you want to enjoy the clear winter skies outside, Friday public shows at the Clever Planetarium coincide with the Stockton Astronomical Society's “Sky Tours." Tonight, January 27th, the Stockton Astronomical Society will set up telescopes for “Sky Tours” in the Shima 2 parking lot and it's free.
