UWM's planetarium offers a behind-the-scenes look at nature's remarkable light shows every Friday in February

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- What's not enthralling about viewing the northern lights? Those who have not been lucky enough to see this natural phenomenon in person will have an opportunity to learn more about them every Friday evening in February at UWM's planetarium.

The program is called "Northern Lights." In addition to learning more about these beautiful waves of color caused by particles colliding in the upper atmosphere, the hour-long event includes an indoor stargazing session of the night sky.

Organizers say this is a great way to look up and make new discoveries all the time.

There are two "Northern Lights" shows.  One takes place from 7- 8 p.m. and the other at 8-9 p.m. at the Manfred Olson Planetarium. Tickets cost $6 for general admission but $5 for UWM students and they can be purchased by clicking here.
