The show will also take a brief look at the three planets currently in the evening sky; Jupiter, Mars and Saturn.
There will also be special one-year anniversary kid’s shows at 5 and 6 p.m. with Dr. Erica.
If the sky is clear, astronomers will be on hand with telescopes for public star gazing afterward.
Admission is free to members of the Battle Point Astronomical Association; $2 donation suggested for nonmembers, $5 for families.
