Spring Into Space

Join us for Spring into Space, sponsored by Moog, beginning Monday, April 14 through Thursday, April 17 to take part in daily astronomy activities from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. From space exploration to adapting to life in the final frontier, you’ll walk away “one giant leap” closer to becoming the next rising NASA star!

Discover how objects react to the vacuum of space and learn what’s critical to the formation of new stars. Put your engineering caps on to design, build, and test your own spacecraft. Learn how nebulas form and create your own with spin art before decorating your own solar system bracelets or, dare we say, spacelet?

Additional astronomy community partners will join us each day, and BMS staff will present a variety of daily stage shows at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. that explore rocket fuel with liquid nitrogen, identify constellations, and examine what some of Earth’s toughest creatures can teach us about adapting to the extreme conditions found light years from home.
