Join us for a full evening of Astronomical delights. We have brought the International Astronomical Artists Association 2007 exhibition of fine paintings to the North Tahoe Conference Center to celebrate the International Year of Astronomy 2009. Great for the whole family. At 8:30, we will go out on the deck overlooking the Lake and observe the night sky with our fine telescopes!
Jimmy Neutron, boy genius seems to always invent his way out of trouble. Come enjoy the full feature animated film of Jimmy and Friends doing weird adventures.
Stellar neighborhoods produce striking patterns when observing our starry night. Understanding the dynamics of stellar formation and dispersion is essential to understanding the evolution of our Universe. We will apply hands-on training methods and then use these tools to observe the starry night with our telescopes at star parties this month.
Stars are the basic building blocks of galaxies. Our Milky Way is filled with stars both new and old. We will explore two distinct populations of star clusters. Open clusters are formed in the galactic disc and become dispersed throughout the Milky Way. Globular clusters are formed around galaxies and are ancient relics that hover around the galactic halo like moths about a porch light. Our programs are interactive and challenging for astronomy students of all ages.

Masterpiece of Science Fiction by H.G. Wells. The original film provides us a view of our knowledge about space flight from before the NASA space program.
Why can our Sun, a yellow dwarf star, continue to produce energy for billions of years while a giant blue star only lives for only millions of years? How are stars born and die?
Apollo 13 is a true documentary that plays out as a Sci-Fi adventure story. It clearly shows how things go wrong and how courage and skill can override disaster.
