Silver Screen & Starry Skies: Apollo 13
Experience an unforgettable evening under the stars at the West Point Environmental Education Pavilion in Durham on April 24, 2026. This exciting community gathering invites you to enjoy a screening of the classic film Apollo 13 as part of the prestigious North Carolina Science Festival. We encourage you to bring your own blankets and chairs to create a comfortable viewing space for this outdoor cinematic experience. The festivities begin at 8:00 p.m. with engaging pre-show activities hosted by our community partners, followed by the movie screening once the sun sets at 9:00 p.m. Beyond the film, attendees will have the unique opportunity to gaze at the moon through provided telescopes, making this a perfect night for astronomy enthusiasts and families alike.
While this event is completely free to attend, please note that advanced registration is required to secure your spot. As this program is weather dependent, be sure to keep an eye on event updates. Join us for an inspiring night celebrating resilience, teamwork, and the wonders of our universe. Register today and prepare for a stellar evening outdoors.
