Join us for the Stars Tonight at Bishop Museum! Examine the skies with a presenter in our planetarium, featuring the stars, planets, astronomical highlights, and other stories of the current season.

In the months of solstices and equinoxes, the evening program will take a trivia format! Supplies will be provided. Participation in the trivia responses is optional, and guests can otherwise just opt to enjoy this question-filled exploration of our view from Earth.

Families encouraged for the 6:15 p.m. showtime. Question difficulty increases in the 7:30 p.m. showtime.
