COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (May 4, 2016) – It’s time to explore the other side of the universe, and the unusual inhabitants of distant planets. The Space Foundation Discovery Center is celebrating aliens and their worlds this Saturday as part of Star Days “Alien Worlds.”

Take your photo as an explorer on an alien world as you image the inhabitants as friend or foe, and learn about exoplanets with a Science On a Sphere® presentation. These activities, plus many more, will be available for guests of all ages. Star Days are sponsored in part by Raytheon and Uwingu.

This will be the final Star Days of the 2015-2016 season. Star Days will return in the fall after the Summer of Discovery – “Heroes of Space” program ends. To learn more about Summer of Discovery events and activities, see www.spacefoundation.org/museum.
