This morning we took our bikes and rode to Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum. It was founded in 1930 and was America’s first Planetarium. There were a series of exhibits, including the Gemeni/Apollo missions to the moon, Big Bang Theory, History of Astronomy from the flat earth theories to modern day astrophysics and more. We saw the planetarium presentation of the summer sky, given by the resident astronomer. We also saw the movie “Cosmic Collisions” shown on a 360 degree overhead screen. We ate a surprisingly good lunch in the Planetarium Cafeteria and spent most of the day at the Planetarium.
We saw many groups of people driving segways. There are many places you can rent them and some places offer group tours on segways.
When we left the planetarium we biked around Chicago. We went several miles. We certainly got our exercise.
