This show tells the delightful story of an average yellow star in search of planets of his own. Along the way, he meets other stars and learns what makes each star special. Eventually, Little Star finds his planets, and each planet is introduced with basic information about our solar system. Appropriate for children and families.
O. Wayne Rollins Planetarium presents at least 30 Friday evening public shows each year. Shows begin at 8 p.m. from August to April, and 8:30 p.m. from May to July. If skies are clear, the Young Harris College Observatory is open immediately following planetarium shows. The observatory features a Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and is located about 1.5 miles from campus at Twiggs Overlook on the exit road leading from Brasstown Valley Resort. Maps are available at the planetarium. Observing sessions last up to one hour and include a guided tour of the constellations. Arrive early for best seats. No late seating.

While it may be years before direct images of the surfaces of these worlds are available, this show gives audiences an idea of what no known planets might look likeāup close and personal!
