Then, weather permitting, attendees have a chance to look through the college\u2019s 20-inch reflecting telescope on our rooftop observatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parade of Planets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Early risers will be rewarded with a special treat in the pre-dawn sky: a parade of planets! During the last two weeks of June, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will be aligned and visible to the naked-eye in the early morning sky. Join us in the planetarium to learn about these planets, and what you can expect to see when you get up before sunrise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wednesday shows<\/strong><br>June 8, 15, 22<br>8:30 &#8211; 9:45 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Friday shows<\/strong><br>June 10, 17, 24<br>7 \u2013 8 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stars of Summer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although devoid of planets, there are still many attractions in the evening sky during the summer months. The bright stars of the summer triangle are rising in the east, while the Scorpion dominates the southern sky. Learn about the different types of stars in the summer sky, and how these stars live and die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wednesday shows<\/strong><br>June 29; July 6, 13, 20<br>8:30 &#8211; 9:45 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Friday shows<\/strong><br>July 1, 8, 15, 22<br>7 \u2013 8 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Things to know before you come:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>No reservations are required, but all planetarium shows are on a first-come first-served basis<\/li><li>Children <strong>over the age of 5<\/strong> are
