Thursday June 27, 2019: Black Holes Event - Black holes have been quite a source of wonder for over a century now and have gone through quite the transformation.

GLAS Education is now offering people a chance to learn more about them while enjoying the night sky with telescopes, planetarium shows, and hands on activities at the Riviera Ballroom in downtown Lake Geneva!

Thursday, July 25, 2019: Apollo Anniversary Event - July 20, 1969 was the first time humans ever step foot on the moon. Now, 50 years later, that accomplishment still stands as one of the greatest feats ever achieved. Come celebrate with GLAS Education as we look back at that historic moment and have fun exploring all of the aspects that made that mission possible!

Thursday, August 29, 2019: Space Travel Event - The Apollo 11 mission marks one of the greatest achievements in human history, but we didn't stop there. Since 1969 there have been multiple other manned missions to the Moon and unmanned missions to other planets in our solar system. In the near future we could be talking about the first humans to step foot on Mars!
