Enjoy space at Morehead Planetarium and Science Center!In this planetarium show, explore the relationship between Earth, Moon and Sun with the help of Coyote, an animated character who has many misconceptions about our home planet and its most familiar neighbors. His confusion about the universe makes viewers think about how Earth, Moon and Sun work together as a system and learn to distinguish between stories and science.Learn the basics of fusion and solar energy and why the Sun rises and sets. Examine the Moon’s orbit, craters, phases, and eclipses. You’ll even take a look at past and future space travel to our Moon … and beyond!This program is recommended for ages 7+ and their families.
