Cosmic Castaways

Playing in June
Tuesday – Friday at 3:00pm
Saturday at 12:00pm and 3:00pm

In certain realms of the night sky, there are no constellations. No Orion, no Big Dipper—only sparse, distant stars and faint glimmers. Many stars reside within the bustling confines of galaxies, journeying alongside their celestial kin in expansive galactic communities. Yet, a select few are solitary travelers, adrift within the vast voids amidst galaxies. These are the cosmic castaways. Visit the Ella Sharp Museum to see this show. Hours and availability on the show schedule below!
