Ketchum is in the middle of America’s first Dark Sky Reserve. But today youngsters will be able to see the night sky from the lecture hall of the Community Library. And they won’t need to stay up until the wee hours of the night to see them.

Hemingway STEAM School engineering design teacher Scott Slonim will take youth on a tour of the stars at 2 and 3 p.m. today—Tuesday, Aug. 5—at Ketchum’s Community library.

Youngsters can see them all from a portable planetarium provided by the Wood River Women’s Foundation And the event will end with a laser show.

Slonim just returned from Johnson Space Center in Houston where he toured NASA facilities and took part in NASA-led experiments. And he can’t wait to tell kids all about it.

There is no charge. Register for the 2 p.m. show at https://thecommunitylibrary.libcal.com/event/14552426. Register for the 3 p.m. show at https://thecommunitylibrary.libcal.com/event/14552427.
