The program reveals what is similar to all stars and what makes them unique. When we look up at the night sky, we can see that stars vary in brightness and have many different colors. But, what are those tiny points of light? This exciting program takes viewers beyond a simple observation of the night sky and delves into the fascinating lives of stars. Many of us are able to identify different patterns and constellations in the stars. On a clear, dark night, most of us, at one time or another, have gazed upon the stars and wondered about all those tiny points of light.

During the warmer months, we also have nature trails in our wildlife area on campus (see map). To book a tour of the SMSU Museum of Natural History and/or the SMSU Greenhouse, inquire in your email message. If you would like to schedule a laser show, indicate so in your email. If these times don't work, let me know, I will try to work something out. If the time you request is not possible, I will suggest the closest possible date and time. The best time to request a show is on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Fridays from 8:30 a.m. Weekend and evenings may entail an additional cost. There is no minimum group size, however the cost is the same. The cost of a weekday show is $50 with a maximum number of 56 visitors per show. If you have any special requests, let me know in advance and I will try to accommodate you.
