Neighborhood U kicks off April 28 with deep space ExploraDome

Join UROC on April 28 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. for the first Neighborhood U, featuring the University of Minnesota Bell Museum’s ExploraDome. This mobile planetarium offers immersive tours of space, including real pictures taken by the Mars Curiosity rover. Shows start approximately every 20 minutes, and every journey through space is different because the onboard ExploraDome educator changes the presentation to suit audiences of all ages. “The ExploraDome is all about helping people see that science is for everybody and we hope that people will also come and visit the Bell Museum,” says Planetarium Programs Coordinator Sarah Komperud

All Neighborhood U events are free and open to the public.
