Planetarium show takes a cruise through the universe

Where is Rocket Man and his Tesla? Astronomer Steve Ruhl will look at his journey and his new neighborhood, the Asteroid Belt, in the planetarium show “Rocket Man’s New Neighborhood.”

The show is 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 10 at the Edwin E. Ritchie Observatory at Battle Point Park.

Admission is free to members of the Battle Point Astronomical Association; a $2 donation is suggested for nonmembers, $5 for families.

If the sky is clear, astronomers will be on hand with telescopes for public star gazing afterward.

BPAstro Kids will be looking at “Optics and Light” with Dr. Erica from 4 to 6 p.m.

The Battle Point Astronomical Association is a nonprofit amateur astronomy organization that operates the Ritchie Observatory and John H. Rudolph Planetarium in the Helix House at Battle Point Park.
