Visit new frontiers with NASA BLAST (Bringing Light and SpaceTogether) at Thanksgiving Point. Meet the Andersons, just your average family learning and playing together, but with their eyes to the sky. Amateur astronomers and avid experimenters, the Andersons are bringing their backyard and fun to Thanksgiving Point to present NASA BLAST and share the science and majesty of space.
Light Exhibit - Museum of Ancient Life
Did you know that distance in space is measured by how long it takes light to travel there? The distance between the Earth and sun varies, so that means that the light we have here on Earth is about 8 minutes old by
the time we see it. Learn facts like this and more in the Andersons’backyard in the Museum of Ancient Life.
Space Garden - Farm Country
Seeds that have been in space? Tiny tomatoes? The Junior Master Gardeners are planting space plants and creating lunar plant growth chambers as they learn about the future of NASA and food in space.
Solar System Walk
Ever wondered how far away Earth is from Venus? How about which planets are the closest together? The Andersons wondered too, and they built this walk through the solar system in Thanksgiving Point Gardens
to show you. Learn the vast nature of the solar system and the size of and distance between planets all in the beautiful serenity of the gardens. You’ll walk the gardens as if you were in the solar system exploring the science beyond planet earth.
Activities, Day Camps, Star Parties
Build and launch a rocket at a Garden Adventure event held at Thanksgiving Point Gardens. Sign up your little ones to be summer astronauts at a NASA day camp. Or attend a star party hosted with the Clark Planetarium and explore the galaxy using high-powered telescopes.
