An Evening Like No Other
Bid to Win A Private Evening at BMO
This summer, our student presenters will travel to Germany to participate in the International Planetarium Conference in Jena and Berlin. It is the 100th year of the modern planetarium and to celebrate - we will visit the original. To raise money for their travel costs, these students are crafting live planetarium shows and hosting a private evening at the Blue Mountain Observatory.
