SkyDome Planetarium 

October 2024- We were thrilled to bring an unforgettable experience to the students at Taft School with the Sky Dome mobile planetarium! Students embarked on an exciting tour of the solar system, learning to identify each planet as they "flew" through space. They were introduced to Greek mythological characters and discovered how these legendary figures are connected to the stars. The presentation also gave them a glimpse of the night sky through different seasons and from various global perspectives.
