SIDE NOTE:
The ESSL is a part of the Frederick County Public School system. Their primary purpose is to work with school groups. With a small dedicated staff, they are able to offer limited evening, summer and public events. All shows will take place in the Ausherman Planetarium and typically include a “Star Hike”. Viewing animals and exhibits are included with your ticket purchase.
The Earth and Space Science Laboratory (ESSL) has been a unique part of the Frederick County Public Schools, and the community, since 1962. The “old” facility housed a Spitz A3P planetarium projector, a 24’ dome, with bench seating for 70 people. From 1962 – 1985 this facility encompassed just the planetarium and a Geology Lab. In 1985 an Oceanography Lab was added and in 1995 Meteorology was added to the curriculum. Since 1995, the ESSL has truly promoted all four of the earth sciences.
Tickets are sold online only at this time. The ESSL uses an outside vendor for ticket sales, please direct any purchase questions to ‘TICKET SPICKET’ (support@ticketspicket.com or 1-855-96-TICKET)
