Step inside the dome of the Hurst Planetarium at Ella Sharp Museum and learn about the Sun, our living star.

The Sun, our nearest star and our planet’s powerhouse, is the source of the energy that drives our winds, our weather and all life. The passage of the Sun’s fiery disc across the sky — day by day, month by month — was the only way to keep track of time for countless past civilizations.

Reserve your tickets now for Sunday’s planetarium show (1 and 3 pm): http://ellasharpmuseum.org/.../planetarium-show-the-sun.../

Planetarium show Includes a live tour of the Fall Jackson night sky.
