We're bringing some stars of comedy to the Planetarium this Friday, October 23!

At 6 PM, Joking with the Stars features three comedians with jokes the whole family can enjoy (best for ages 5 and up). Tickets are $10.

Then at 7:30, the kids go home, and the grown-ups stay for Comedy in Retrograde, a space-themed show for ages 18+. Tickets are $20. Come to one or make a night of both.

Tickets are at miSci.org.

To the 50,000 of you who stood at the reaction testing machine in Measure Up! trying to beat the high score: we saw you. We also saw the rematches.

For the past year, Dynavision International sponsored the exhibit and loaned us the machine that made it all happen. It's now heading back to Dynavision, and the exhibit will feel a little quieter without it.

Thank you, Dynavision International, for a year of fast hands, friendly competition, and a lot of "one more try." We couldn't have done it without you.

If you could use a night of fun, laughter, and light-heartedness, join us Friday, October 23, at 7:30 PM for Comedy in Retrograde. Our comedians will have you laughing your way into orbit, with no crash landing to worry about.

Fair warning: this showing is for adults 18 and up, so make sure to get a sitter. Tickets are $20, and the show runs about 60 to 70 minutes. Reserve yours at misci.org.

882 people. That's how many of you walked through our doors on Free Admission Day and we are still smiling about it.

Thank you to our friends at @mandt_bank for making the day possible. Because of their support, hundreds of families, neighbors, and first-time visitors got to explore the museum, look up at the stars, and spend a day being curious together.

And thank you to everyone who grabbed a spot and came out. You filled the galleries with questions and laughter, which is exactly what we hoped for.

Houston, we have a comedy show!

On Friday, October 23, three of the funniest family-friendly comedians are taking over the planetarium for Joking with the Stars, a family friendly night of laughs in our planetarium. It's 45 minutes of jokes the whole family can enjoy together, from the kid who's still learning what a punchline is to the grown-up who has heard every dad joke twice.

Joking with the Stars starts at 6 PM and is $10 per person, recommended for ages 5 and up. Grab your tickets at misci.org and bring the whole crew.
