Lycoming College invites the Williamsport community and surrounding areas to enjoy a free show in its Detwiler Planetarium on Friday, Feb. 7. Members of the community can attend “Supermassive Black Holes: Uncovering the Invisible,” with shows beginning at 5 p.m., 5:45 p.m., 6:30 p.m., and 7:15 p.m.
Join us for a spectacular grand reopening celebration as we unveil our newly upgraded planetarium made possible by a $150,000 grant from the George I. Alden Trust. With a state-of-the-art projection system bringing the universe to life like never before, this is the perfect opportunity to rediscover the magic of the night sky. Bring your family and friends for an evening of awe and wonder. Admission is free, and donations are always appreciated. Don’t miss out on this stellar experience!
This event is free and open to the public. To secure your spot, reserve free tickets via BigTickets (https://www.bigtickets.com/events/lycoming-college-astronomy-dept). Doors will open 15 minutes before the start of each show. Please note that there will be no admittance after the show begins. You can find us at the Lynn Science Center, located on the corner of Washington Boulevard and Mulberry Street.
If you are interested in learning the mysteries of the cosmos, then a major in astronomy might be for you. Classes at Lycoming are small enough to give all students an opportunity to receive individualized attention, and allow students (even first-year students) access to scientific equipment in their areas of interest. Lycoming astronomy majors are trained in the field of planetarium education, which may serve as a basis for state certification as a secondary school teacher of general science. Other astronomy students pursue careers in aerospace, research observatories, and museums, or become analysts, atmospheric physicists, or computer system analysts.
