First class in the series is:

Exoplanets

Beyond our solar system are untold numbers of worlds orbiting other stars. Some of
these worlds may be similar to the planets of our own solar system, but many are unlike
anything we are familiar with. In this class we will learn how astronomers find
exoplanets and the different types they have discovered.

The Planetarium is located at the:  Glastonbury East Hartford Magnet School, 95 Oak Street, Glastonbury.  Enter at the main school entrance.  The planetarium entrance is just inside to the left.  Doors will open at 6:30 pm

Please Note:  You must arrive 6:30-6:45 pm, as class starts promptly at 7:00 pm after which the planetarium doors are closed.  They cannot accept late arrivals.
