Look no further than Abrams Planetarium to let you mind unwind in the middle of a busy day.

The planetarium hosts two Health4U events: Relaxing Under the Stars  and Rest with Music. MSU faculty, staff, retirees and students can gaze upon drifting constellations in the night sky projected on the planetarium’s dome from the state-of-the-art Digistar projector. Both sessions are held on weekdays from 12:10 to 12:50 p.m.

The Relaxing Under the Stars sessions feature a short star talk before ambient music plays for the remainder of the hour.

Rest with Music brings a new musician to the planetarium every month. Some past musical genres include folk, jazz piano, Celtic harp, African instrumental music, and even electronic ambient music. Through all of these varieties, the Rest with Music sessions have always been soothing.

The next Relaxing Under the Stars session, provided by Health4U and Abrams Planetarium, is Monday, July 11, 2016.

Rest with Music sessions, which are provided by University Physician’s Office, Health4U, Abrams Planetarium, and Student Health Services, are held approximately once a month on weekdays. The next performance is July 21, 2016, by guitarist Hiroya Tsukamoto.

Take a well-deserved break during the lunch hour to relax, close your eyes and even nap!
