Lycoming College invites the Williamsport community to enjoy a free show in its Detwiler Planetarium on June 1. The show, which is part of Williamsport First Friday, will begin at 6:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public.

In ancient civilizations, Mars brought fear and foreboding as it traveled across the sky. Mars is the subject of literature, movies and television in recent times, and traveling there is a growing focus of many governments. This month's planetarium show will explore what we know about the red planet and current talks of exploration.

Free tickets are available that evening starting at 5 p.m. outside the planetarium. Seating is first come, first seated. The planetarium is located in the Lynn Science Center on the corner of Washington Boulevard and Mulberry Street.
