Use Sci-Port's large telescopes or bring your own to check out the Moon, Saturn and other heralded constellations, stars and planets "hanging" in Shreveport's skies.  Sci-Port staff will be on the Windham Family Rooftop Terrace to guide visitors on an out-of-this-world celestial journey.  A full complement of activities and presentations -- both inside the Sawyer Space Dome Planetarium and out -- will bring you back down to Earth with stellar Sci-Port fun.  Whether you're a curious newbie, a passionate astronomer or somewhere in between, this evening with the stars is sure to enchant.  "May the Force be with you" as you explore the dark side!
