City of Astronomy Science Festival

Join us to learn why Pasadena is the "City of Astronomy" for a free afternoon of science demonstrations, solar telescopes, and public-level presentations on black holes, exoplanets, galaxies, space weather, and AI!

Come learn about space with scientists from Caltech, NASA JPL, Carnegie Observatories, LIGO, IPAC, The Planetary Society, USC, UCLA, Princeton, Griffith Observatory, and more! Science demonstrations will include "build a comet", "solar s'mores", infrared cameras, radio telescopes, VR headsets, gravitational demonstrations, and plasma and electromagnetic experiments.

Event is free and open to the public! No reservations required. Stay only as long as you want.
