The solstice is on its way (June 20th at 10:45pm Pacific Time)! Although there may be celebrations and fun all over Seattle, there is at least one place where you can actually measure the astronomical significance of the longest day of the year: Solstice Park in West Seattle.

We'll be celebrating Astronomy Day in style this year. There will be scientists on hand who study the Earth from Space (over in buildings 4 and 2), extra planetarium shows all day, and astronomy crafts and science interpretation going on all over the place! Don't miss it!
(Planetarium is first-come, first-seated, and se...ating is limited)

Earth Revealed
This spring, Pacific Science Center celebrates local scientific research focusing on all of the amazing things scientists learn by looking at Earth from satellites circling our planet in space. This series of programs showcases local scientists, allowing our visitors to meet and participate in hands-on activities with the people who conduct this cutting edge research.
[Our] month long celebration [Earth Revealed] culminates with a Special Event, Saturday, May 2, 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Join Pacific Science Center as we showcase Earth as you have never seen it before. Over twenty hands-on activity stations will be ready to explore, all facilitated by local scientists. Additionally, KING 5 meteorologist, Jeff Renner will make a special presentation! This event is targeted to families with elementary and middle school aged children although will be most appropriate for kids 8-years-old and up.
Awesome Science!
Our ability to look back at Earth from space, using satellites and other space craft, has transformed what we know about our home planet over the last fifty years. From space, we can see weather patterns such as hurricanes and features such as glaciers, volcanoes and oceans in a whole new way. For the first time in human history, we can see ourselves living on and altering a dynamic planet. Discover this fascinating area of research during Pacific Science Center’s Earth Revealed: A View Of Our Planet From Space events!
Learn how scientists:
* Understand and predict hurricane intensity by combining satellite data with information gathered during flights into real storms!
* Study the beautiful and awe inspiring Northern Lights!
* Determine the make-up of Earth’s atmosphere, and then look for similar planets outside of our own solar system!
* Discover how fires affect our forests!
* Gather information about the location and thickness of sea ice and glaciers!
Partners:
University of Washington participants include Applied Physics Lab, College of Forestry Resources, Department of Astronomy, School of Oceanography, Department of Atmospheric Sciences, Department of Earth and Space Sciences and Department of Electrical Engineering. Other event participants include Microsoft, JISAO, Central Washington University, KING 5 News and NOAA National Weather Service.Read More
