Lycoming College invites the Williamsport community and surrounding areas to enjoy a free show in its Detwiler Planetarium on Friday, April 4.

Three-and-a-half billion years ago, the first microscopic organisms emerged on Earth. But was our planet the only place where life could take root? Today, scientists are on a quest to uncover the secrets of life’s origins and search for worlds beyond Earth that could sustain it.

Join us for “The Astrobiologist’s Guide to Habitable Worlds,” an immersive planetarium show that explores the most promising places for extraterrestrial life. From the icy, ocean-filled moons of Enceladus and Europa to the distant exoplanets of the TRAPPIST-1 system, journey through the cosmos to discover the planets and moons that could one day be our second home. Don’t miss this breathtaking voyage across the universe in search of life!

This event is free and open to the public, with shows starting at 5 p.m. and 5:45 p.m. To secure your spot, reserve free tickets via BigTickets https://www.bigtickets.com/events/lycoming-college-astronomy-dept/ beginning Friday, March 28.

Doors will open 15 minutes before 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.
