Celebrate Astronomy Day this weekend

This is one of two opportunities to celebrate Astronomy Day, taking place on April 29.

You can learn more about astronomy at Boonshoft Museum of Discovery. They have an event from noon until 4 p.m. where experienced astronomers will talk about the Sun, moon, and all the night sky has to hold.

Astronomy Day will also be celebrated on September 30 this fall.

Astronomy Day was created to celebrate astronomy and spread the word about what our planet and the universe has to offer.

You can try to spot planets on your own, but we also can show you  where to look for Venus.

Don't forget to share your photos with the hashtag #SkyWitness7.
