Take a trip to the moon in May at YHC planetarium
Young Harris, GA (04/14/2026) — NASA's Artemis mission isn't the only one traveling to the moon, as that's the mission for the Young Harris College's O. Wayne Rollins Planetarium in May.
Forward! To the Moon
Friday, May 15 @ 8 p.m.
Kari Byron, from Crash Test World and MythBusters, launches us on a journey beyond the Earth towards a sustainable future in space. NASA's 21st-century Artemis program, named after the Greek moon Goddess and twin of Apollo, is the next step in our mission to explore the universe.
Hear all about the on-going project to establish a lunar base and explore deep craters on the Moon.
O. Wayne Rollins Planetarium features shows for the general public on select Friday evenings. Tickets for shows can be purchased at the door with cash or check. Tickets can also be purchased online via Eventbrite by visiting the following link: https://www.yhc.edu/community/planetarium/
Purchasing tickets online in advance is recommended, since planetarium shows often sell out. Observatory open houses do not require tickets.
For planetarium shows, guests are encouraged to arrive early for the best seats. Public planetarium shows, with the exception of Cosmic Concerts, include a live-narrated "season stargazing" segment in addition to the featured full-dome program.

- Free for Children under 4 years of age
