Coyote, a quick-witted character adapted from Native American oral traditions, is confused about what he sees in the sky, and the fast-paced show uses his stories to explore lunar phases, eclipses and other sky puzzles and how humans learn through space exploration; it ends with a brief tour of the current night sky. The recommended age is 6 to 12. Families can stay for the 4:00 PM Monster Mash Laser Concert, where the planetarium's witches and ghouls set lasers to songs such as the Addams Family theme, Monster Mash and Ghostbusters. Admission is $11 per person for one show or $20 for two shows back to back, paid at the door; reservations by phone are recommended, and late admission is not allowed, so arrive 20 to 30 minutes early. ## Similar picks coming up in New York - [Cosmic Questions — RVCC Planetarium Show](https://grassyknees.com/new-york/activities/cosmic-questions-rvcc-planetarium-show--listing-12ab2c11f6c37a33f7dbaa49) — Sat, Nov 7 (+1 more date) · 3:00 PM · RVCC Planetarium, Raritan Valley Community College, Branchburg · checked Oct 30.
