We are taking a few more requests for July 2024 and will begin to pencil in Autumn 2024 requests. As the outreach arm of the Department of Astronomy, we are not a full-fledged or staffed science center. We do our best to meet all requests. We offer public shows based on staffing availability. The Planetarium at COSI is open for public programs.
