Description
Inside our SPOC (space portal odyssey capsule) planetarium, students will have the opportunity to land on the Moon, visit the planets, or even leave the Milky Way galaxy! SPOC is an interactive and engaging planetary experience for students of all ages. Visit flightmuseum.com/space-odyssey-capsule for more information on our grade-specific programming.

Students Will
  • Learn about the stars (including our Sun), Earth, and Moon by comparing size, color, and position. (For PK-2nd graders)
