Come on down to the Downtown Digital Dome Theatre and Planetarium and enjoy a free planetarium show on Saturday August 7th at 10 a.m. The free planetarium show is coordinated with the monthly Democrat "Sky Guy" column and presented by the Tallahassee Astronomical Society. The August sky over Tallahassee will be reviewed including prominent constellations, stars and planets. The zodiac constellation Sagittarius and its nearby companion Ophiuchus will be highlighted for "Learning Constellations". The Binocular Object-of-the-Month is M8, the Lagoon Nebula, near Sagittarius. Learn about M20, the Trifid Nebula, the "Messier object of the Month". The Learning Astronomy topic this month is “What Happened to Poor Pluto” and why it was demoted to a dwarf planet. While you are there stay for “The Secret of the Cardboard rocket” and take a trip to Pluto, the 11:00 a.m. regular planetarium show at one-half off the regular price for those attending the 10:00 a.m. free planetarium show.
