About virtual planetarium shows

We are using Zoom to host a live planetarium show about the summer sky. Our presenters will guide you through a show about the night sky over Detroit and then we'll have time to answer your questions.  At the end of the show, we'll give you the link to a 30-minute film which you can watch at the time of the show, or save for another day.
