Excerpt from The Advocate

The Louisiana Art & Science Museum, 100 S. River Road, will present “Astronomy Day” on Saturday, March 23.

Astronomy Day will begin with Stargazing at 10 a.m. in the Irene W. Pennington Planetarium, a live, presenter-led weekly program in which “young astronomers” can learn about the seasonal constellations currently viewable in the local nighttime sky, followed by “3-2-1 Liftoff!,” a family-friendly show suitable for all ages, sponsored by The Boo Grigsby Foundation.

This family-friendly public program will feature astronomy-themed activities and demonstrations, astronomy-related Irene W. Pennington Planetarium shows and BASF’s Kids’ Lab hands-on chemistry workshops.
