Hi all, as you probably suspected, we're not having any in person events for the foreseeable future in Fall 2020, as the university has moved fully online due to COVID-19. BUT, we're back in virtual format! We're doing a special show on Zoom for the Perseids Meteors Shower, which you can read more about here: https://www.facebook.com/events/939969306515233/

Just a reminder, planetarium shows are cancelled until the end of the quarter due to UCLA's COVID-19 suspension of in-person classes and events.

Hi all, since classes have been moved online due to precautions related to COVID-19, we are also cancelling our planetarium shows. Shows will resume after in person classes resume - currently classes are moved to online through April 10th, so shows should resume after that date. We will post updates on our social media and website as the situation evolves.
