The Sky Tonight: Colors in Space
1650 El Prado, San Diego
Why are some nebulae red and others blue? Why is our Sun yellow? What do we mean by redshift? What can colors tell us about the universe? This live planetarium show of the San Diego sky features full-color visuals and realistic simulations of cosmic phenomena with a state-of-the-art digital projection system. A professional astronomer leads backyard stargazers through the universe. The San Diego County Astronomy Association provides free telescope viewing outdoors on the Prado in Balboa Park, weather and operational requirements permitting.
