Gateway to the Stars: Planets around other Suns

Do planets around other stars actually exist? How do we know they are there? Could any of them be like the Earth and possibly harbor life? Dr. Pamela Gay, Senior Scientist at the Planetary Science Institute, will try to answer these fascinating questions. Meet at the Education Classroom inside the Arch Visitor Center.

Visit the Gateway Arch National Park calendar for more information.

Gateway to the Stars programs are hosted by the National Park Service and its partners, the St. Louis Astronomical Society and Dark Sky Missouri. Weather permitting, these programs will be followed by free telescope viewing of the Moon & other objects out on the Entrance Plaza, provided by the Park & volunteers from the St. Louis Astronomical Society.
