In 1957 -- near the start of the Space Race -- Louisville leaders decided to honor Rabbi Joseph Rauch by building The Rauch Memorial Planetarium at the University of Louisville.

Almost 60 years and now two locations later, the planetarium -- with its 55-foot diameter hemispherical dome -- still hosts students, residents and other community groups with laser light shows and other educational programming.

And Yelpers are invited to come out for a free, out-of-this-world, one-of-a-kind event at the planetarium.

Guests are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite alien or astronaut -- and get creative with it! Think Apollo 13, Star Trek or even Ziggy Stardust. And on the extraterrestrial side of the equation, you could go E.T. (obviously) or even Yoda or Superman. 

Food and drinks from local restaurants will be provided as well activities and free shows in the planetarium theater.
 

***VERY IMPORTANT***

To RSVP, you must have a Yelp profile -- It's free and super fast to set up! -- with a real name and real photo. (You can sign up for Yelp here.

This event is 21+. And you can RSVP with one guest but you must provide his/her name when you RSVP. 

DEADLINE TO RSVP: 3 p.m. March 18 or when event is full, whichever comes first.

YOU MUST RECEIVE A CONFIRMATION EMAIL TELLING YOU THAT YOU'VE WON A SPOT TO ATTEND.
