ENID, OK - The Mackie Planetarium on the Northern Oklahoma College Enid campus will host the November Planetarium Show on Tuesday, Nov. 5 at 7 p.m.
November’s show will present the night sky over Enid and show prominent constellations in the winter evening sky. Planetarium director Fritz Osell will also show known stars with planets and present some aspects of commercial resources available from the moon and asteroids and present novel concepts for space travel.
Osell said it has been 135 years since the Land Run of 1889 and will show how a new Land Run 135 years in the future may be a race to stake out claims and mine the resources on the moon and in asteroids.
The full dome planetarium show will take planetarium visitors into space by way of a space elevator.
Osell will also preview the December show set for Tuesday, Dec. 3, and the special Star of Bethlehem show on Thursday, Dec. 5. Showtimes will be 6:30 p.m. and 8 p.m.
There is no charge, but donations of non-perishable food items for Our Daily Bread and Loaves and Fishes are accepted.
