Celebrate American discovery, innovation, and values through topics in astronomy, history, art, music, and more in this special nine-part series in the BGSU Planetarium. This America 250 in the Planetarium series of programs will take place on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays starting at 7:30 p.m. July 13 – 31. All America 250 in the Planetarium programs are free and open to the public. This third talk in the series, These are the Voyages of the Starship(s) Voyager, will be presented by Kate Dellenbusch, Teaching Professor, BGSU Department of Physics & Astronomy The twin NASA Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft launched in 1977 and together made a Grand Tour of the gas giants of our solar system, providing breathtaking images of those worlds along the way. At more than 13 billion miles from Earth, the Voyagers are the most distant manmade objects, and in 2012, Voyager 1 became the first spacecraft to enter into interstellar space. Voyager 2 followed this historic milestone in 2018. After nearly 49 years in space, most of their systems have been turned off, but as they venture ever farther from the Sun, they continue to send data back to Earth and teach us about the environment where the solar wind interacts with interstellar material. How do we know they have now entered into interstellar space? How long can they continue to function and return useful scientific data as their power dwindles, and what might the future hold as these robotic emissaries of humanity continue into the cosmos. This talk will be followed by the Planetarium show THE WRIGHT WAY TO FLY at 8:45 p.m.  

  In this classic, now digitized show, you’ll see how the Wright Brothers developed and flew their first airplane. With a delightful interview style presentation, the show covers the principles of flight and the story behind the first flight in 1903. This show was created to commemorate 100 years of powered flight by Dayton’s Boonshoft Museum of Discovery and was first presented by the BGSU Planetarium in 2004. This planetarium show is being presented as part of the special July AMERICA 250 IN THE PLANETARIUM series and will follow a Speakers Series public talk. AMERICA 250 IN THE PLANETARIUM programs will take place on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, July 13–31. Public lectures will begin at 7:30 p.m. Planetarium shows will follow at 8:45 p.m. Weather permitting, public stargazing will follow around 9:45 p.m.
