*****************************************************************************

I was asked to share the responses I received; thank you all for your
help!!

 

*	Chicago History Museum: "Thursday is the new Friday" for young,
hip events; while heavier topics are on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.  They
avoid summer months.
*	Rochester Museum & Science Center: has a Distinguished Scholars
program, Wednesday evenings Jan-April, occasionally May.  (When they get
as late as May, the numbers drop).
*	Arizona Science Center: Wednesday and Friday Adult lectures are
equally well attended; attendance is steered more by topic than by night
of the week.
*	Science Museum of Virginia: Wednesday night is best; Tuesday and
Thursday evenings have been "a bust."  Avoid Jan, May-Aug, and late
November and all of December.
*	William McKinley Library & Museum, OH: Thursday at 7pm
*	Cincinnati Museum: Thursdays, Sept-Nov and Jan-May; moving from
7pm to 7:30.  They avoid Dec for their own schedules as well as the
visitors.  New visitors can sign up to be on their email list at each
lecture. 
*	Children's Museum, West Hartford, CN:  Thursday night; they
alter the time seasonally so they can do an observing session after.

 

Other information I looked up specific to space science lectures:

*	Smithsonian: Exploring Space Lectures, Tuesday 8pm (March -June)
*	Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, Tucson: Tuesday (partially to
avoid conflicts with other campus public lectures) 7:30pm
*	Space Telescope Science Institute: (Hubble Public Talks) 8pm
Tuesday monthly except summer.
