“Planet Spectacular” will greet planetarium guests in May. In a period of less than 30 days, three notable celestial events will occur and will be demonstrated by Zielinski. On May 9, Mercury will transit in front of the sun. On May 22 and June 3, respectively, Mars and Saturn will reach opposition relative to the sun, making each planet their brightest and also highest in the sky. If weather permits, viewing of several objects through a small telescope will take place after the show.
