Event Description:
Have you ever wondered where rainbows come from? Maybe we can shed some light on the answer! In this overnight workshop, you will explore the science of light and how it relates to astronomy. You'll take a close-up look at different colored stars in the night sky using telescopes and learn how to bend white light to make a rainbow. In the GSK Fulldome Theater, you will see how lights here on Earth impact the night sky and learn about the entire light spectrum before falling asleep under a planetarium sky full of stars! In the morning, you'll explore other planets and constellations in the Planetarium and wrap up your visit with a hands-on activity.
