Twinkle, twinkle, little star, is a lullaby known by many, yet how much do you really know about the stars above? Every Friday at 10 a.m. CST through June 12, 2020, astronomer and UWM Planetarium director Dr. Jean Creighton will explore these glittering bursts of light we see each night in 10-minute episodes of her Stars Have Stories series, perfect for children of all ages! Following each presentation from her home office, Dr. Creighton will answer questions from viewers. Sign up at alumni.uwm.edu/futurepantheracademy to watch the shows live. Shows are also archived for on-demand viewing.

Additional show added on June 26! Jean will share her experience and answer questions on her trip to the stratosphere in NASA’s SOFIA—the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy.
