Out of this World! Family Day
Oct. 5 | 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Learn all about space and the ways in which we have – and are continuing to – explore it at Museum of York County’s Out of this World Family Day! Meet guest speaker Dr. Tatiana Niembro Hernández, an astrophysicist from the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, as she discusses her work at 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 3:30 p.m. Activities will include a guessing game involving objects in space, making models of spacecraft, and the creation of your very own take-home Pocket Solar System. We will also be debuting a number of artifacts recently transferred to Culture & Heritage Museums from NASA. Make sure to join us for a “universally” good time.
