You’re invited to join Cranbrook Institute of Science astronomers and members of the Warren Astronomical Society as they guide you through an out-of-this-world planetary alignment that will grace our skies on Saturday, January 25!
Are you wondering what a planetary alignment is? This celestial phenomenon, also known as a conjunction, occurs when multiple planets appear close together in the night sky from Earth's perspective—almost like they’re all hanging out together! The upcoming planetary alignment will showcase Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Neptune, and Uranus—though the last two you’ll need to use one of our telescopes to see!
Stop by our Cranbrook Observatory for a close-up view of this fascinating celestial event, grab a seat at the Acheson Planetarium to explore the night sky and learn more about planetary alignments, or chat with an astronomer about all things cosmic. It’s going to be a stellar evening you won’t want to miss!
Pre-registration is highly recommended.
