Astronomy
Whether in the IMAX®DOME or on the front lawn, we'll help you discover
"what's up" in the night sky.

Sky watch

LiveSky
Presented at 6 p.m. on the third Friday of every month. Free.
Take a guided tour of the current night sky and find out about the latest celestial happenings. You'll also have the opportunity to ask questions and make requests of your astronomer host. Since the sky is always changing and audience questions and requests vary, each LiveSky show is different.

Please note: Once a LiveSky program has begun, the theater is very dark. For safety reasons, we cannot seat latecomers.

Sky Watch
Meets on the third Friday of every month, weather permitting. Free.
Join members of the Richmond Astronomical Society on the museum's front lawn as they share their powerful telescopes for a look at the night sky.
