SPECIAL EVENT ALERT! 🚨 Six years ago, NASA launched the Parker Solar Probe—a spacecraft that would fly faster and travel closer to the Sun than any other object ever constructed. Next week, its mission specialists are coming to the Adler Planetarium to talk about the unprecedented mission. ☀️ Join for Touch The Sun, an exciting lecture on the Parker Solar Probe, Q&A, and special sky show on 5/31! Plus, enjoy Sun-related activities around the museum before and after the event, from 11:00 am–2:00 pm. Weather permitting, we’ll have solar telescopes available for guests to see our favorite star up close! 🎟️ Learn more about this special event and reserve your tickets today: https://www.adlerplanetarium.org/event/touch-the-sun/ (fb)
