The only thing better than flying through Saturn’s rings is taking others with you for the ride. Great turnout tonight at Towson Univeristy’s #Planetarium!

Another sold out show at the Towson University #planetarium. It doesn’t hurt that it’s also free of charge :)

It’s not just the fabled Christmas Star that is contemplated this time of year. Many cultures associated the winter solstice with the return of the light. So we also looked at the short film “celestial canoe” which is one of my favorites.

Last Friday I showed off Parker Solar Probe's upcoming deep dive into the Sun's corona in OpenSpace (@openspaceproj.bsky.social ). The audience got a kick out of learning that it's gonna happen on December 24th. Sometimes, perihelion just happens to line up with the holidays. #planetarium
