This Month's Program
Join us February 28, 2026, for a very special Astronomical Society of Kansas City General Meeting at the Arvin Gottlieb Planetarium in Union Station. ASKC Members will receive free admission to a special planetarium screening and stellar presentation by Patrick Hess, Planetarium Director. The evening will begin at 6:00 p.m. with a special preview screening of the One Sky Project film, a planetarium program not yet available to the general public. This program will be released later this summer.
Following this special screening, at 7:00 p.m., Patrick will provide a deep dive into the scientific datasets of the planetarium that are not generally accessible to the public. He will take us on an immersive journey through black holes, galaxies, nebulae, and many more places throughout the universe.
NOTE: Due to limited seating, this will be a members-only event!
Members will need to obtain a (free) ticket in advance. See your Cosmic Messenger for details.
The event will be free for ASKC members, but expect to pay about $10 for parking in the Union Station Parking Garage. Street parking is free if you can find a spot, and the street car stops right outside Union Station.
The February meeting will not be available via Zoom.
We hope to see you in person at the Station on the 28th.
