NASA-certified instructor Erich Landstrom is back Oct. 8 at the Schoolhouse Children’s Museum, 129 E Ocean Ave., leading an exploration of the universe by shrinking it in four steps.

At each step, an image that represents that cosmic object will be scaled down to 2 inches in diameter.

In addition, Kelsey Harris said she would tell stories of pioneers to the planets, and offer youth arts and crafts projects.

The program is a split program that starts at 7 p.m. at the Boynton City Library, 208 S. Seacrest Blvd.

At 8 p.m., attendees will walk across the street to the Schoolhouse Children’s Museum and look at Jupiter and its moons through the museum’s CPC 800 XLT Telescope.

The astronomy program is monthly and Harris said in November, Professor Wifpic and the cadets of the Hubble Academy would count, classify and analyze objects from the Hubble Deep Field, almost 12 billion light years away.

For information, call the museum at 561-742-6780.
