Space shuttle. We saw a show about this, strange to think that the shuttles will be retired in a year.
Way back in time for space travel.
Colin is in charge of the universe oh no!!!
That ball could be changed to represent any planet or a variety of earth views. There was a cool music and science room too and we watched a movie called Ice Worlds in the planetarium. We learned about constellations here and also at the north and south pole. The show itself was on the planetariums round dome ceiling and it was wonderful! We love learning about the cold poles so getting to see this show was excellent.
Outside the planetarium is this rocket which had just been placed there a few days ago!

Way cool!
Is this the Christa MacAullife (if that's how you spell it) one? I've been thinking of getting a reciprocal membership to a children's museum in Bangor & it includes that one in NH too. Hmmm.....
Yes it is, although now it's called the Macaullife/Shepherd planetarium. It was a fun day and I don't think we got to everything. It used to be you could see the whole place in an hour. Of course it used to be free and now there's an admission price, LOL. Certainly not as big as museums in say Boston but I thought it was a good day out. If you end up going there let me know and maybe we can meet up!
Love the field trip! We'd really like to visit a planetarium sometime.
