The Miami Museum of Science

How to Find the Stars and Planets of the Month is a traditional planetarium favorite. On August 23rd, I visited the Miami Museum of Science with a couple of friends and had the opportunity to learn how to identify stars and planets in the sky. Since I was a kid, I enjoyed going to the planetarium to watch the Worlds in Motion Show. Get ready for the ride of your life. As the seats twist and turn, the room turns pitch dark. Welcome to the planetarium, please turn your cell phones off. Please no food or drinks allowed at this time. Sit back and enjoy the splendor of the night and discover the stars and planet in our solar system. Then, you will be introduced to the atoms and their three basic parts: electrons, protons and neutrons. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter. For example, a desk, a computer is made up of atoms. If you still remember from science or basic chemistry class, an electron is a negative charge and circle around the nucleus, and a proton carries a positive charge. A neuron, on the other hand, has no charge.

From Pink Floyd to Bob Marley, the Space Transit Planetarium at the Miami Museum of Science offers its visitors Friday laser shows. In the past, the laser shows were given once a month on Fridays, however, they are also hosted on special occasions.You will have to contact the museum directly since the schedule might have changed. After the laser show is over, there is also free telescopic observing from 8am-10pm. Laser show admission is $7.00 for adults and $4.00 for children. Laser glasses are included in the price. The Miami Museum of Science is located on 3280 South Miami Avenue in Miami, Florida.
