The Merrillville Community Planetarium presents Larry Cat in Space, a public program beginning on July 13 and continuing through July 28. The show will be presented on Friday, July 13, 20, and 27, and Saturday, July 21 and 28 at 7:30 p.m. Additional showings may be added if needed. The planetarium opens for seating 30 minutes before the show begins. No one will be admitted after the program starts.

Larry Cat is a curious feline whose human friend Diane is sent to a base on the moon to study lunar geology. Larry is miserable until he gets an idea: follow Diane to the moon! Larry stows away aboard one of Diane’s trunks and his adventure begins. “Larry Cat in Space” is a family program for children of all ages. The planetarium’s Gift Shop will be open and, weather permitting, an outdoor observing session will be offered following the program.

Admission to public programs is $3.00 for adults and $2.00 for children. Seating is limited and should be reserved by calling (219) 650-5486 or here on the web site. Large groups can arrange for a private show by calling the planetarium at (219) 650-5486.

This is our final public program for the 2011-2012 school year. Our next public show will be in October 2012. The planetarium is located in Clifford Pierce Middle School at 199 East 70th Avenue in Merrillville, Indiana. Please park and enter on the west side of the building.
