*The event has already taken place on this date: Thu, 10/17/2019
Uranus was first discovered in 1781 by astronomer William Herschel who thought at first that it was a star or comet. It took 2 years before astronomers accepted Uranus as an actual planet.

Want more fun space facts? Take a seat in the Captain Alan Bean Planetarium! Learn about the night sky, the wonders of our solar system and the legends behind the planets and constellations. Then, with a wide array of telescopes at our disposal, we'll head outdoors in search of stars and other planets including Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus!
With an out-of-this-world view atop Talcott Mountain, it’s a great way to spend the last rays of an October evening!
$8 General Admission/$5 TMSC Members
Because seating is limited and events fill up quickly, we recommend making your reservations early!
*PLEASE ARRIVE ON TIME! Late arrivals will not be allowed to enter the planetarium after the presentation begins at 6:45pm; they will, however, be able to participate in outdoor viewing with the group when the planetarium program concludes.
