• Sky Map Nights (aka Scout Nights)

    sky map example On Tuesday nights during the school year, the WVHS Planetarium offers Sky Map Nights. Visitors will learn how to read a current sky map, practice using it in the planetarium, and take it home to use in their own backyard.

    The program is approximately 50 minutes and taught by a certified science teacher. Each program concludes with space exploration news and a Q&A.

    For years, this program was called the Scout Program because of the connection to scouting requirements. The program has not changed, but now everyone is welcome!
