It’s the season to be thankful. And at the next planetarium show at the Edwin E. Ritchie Observatory, astronomer Steve Ruhl will look at manned space flights where the astronauts were thankful to be alive (other than Apollo 13).

The Battle Point Astronomical Association presents the show “Thankful to be Alive: Spaceflight Near Misses” is 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 9.

Admission is free to BPAA members; $2 donation suggested for nonmembers, $5 for families.
