About the event

Drifters in the Dark: Voyagers 1 and 2

Launched in 1977, this pair of spacecraft continue, outward bound from the solar system.

Friday, April 27, 7:00 p.m. and Sunday April 29, 5:00 p.m.

Their “grand tour” included Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and the pictures they took dazzled a generation and expanded our knowledge of the solar system. Now 141 and 116 astronomical units from the sun, respectively, Voyager 1 and 2 continue on into the Oort Cloud and into interstellar space. They are our pioneers. They are our messengers to the stars.

Tickets at the door are $5 (cash or check, no credit). Children 6 and under free. The WSU Planetarium is located in 231 Sloan Hall.
