Long Island Skies

This live presentation for the whole family, developed by the Vanderbilt Planetarium staff, uses the star projector to its fullest capabilities. The program introduces the brilliant night sky that can be seen on Long Island from everyone’s backyard, including seasonal constellations, stars and deep-sky objects. Following the program, and weather permitting, the planetarium staff will open the Observatory. To enhance what they have just learned, visitors can look through the 16-inch Cassegrain telescope to observe the objects discussed during the show.

EXPLORE

Humanity has always had a fascination with the stars — from ancient stargazers and astrologers to modern-day astronauts and astronomers. This show begins with a look at how scholars and scientists throughout the ages used the sky as a calendar and clock to measure the passage of time. Their charts and star catalogs informed the breakthrough discoveries of Nicolaus Copernicus and Johannes Kepler, who in turn paved the way for space travel. In several beautiful scenes, the show demonstrates how today’s spacecrafts follow Kepler’s laws in stately maneuvers as they make their way from Earth to orbit and then — one day — on to other worlds.
