S.C.A.M.S.\u2019 Justin Moore came up with the idea.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe used to do stuff at the Coke Factory because it was kind of kind of chill and easy to do stuff in there without it being like an official space,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>He ran the idea by Challenger Learning Center Executive Director Alan Hanstein, who okayed the free event. It\u2019s the first time the center has hosted a rave.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything from techno to scrans to I&#8217;m doing like an experimental electronic set. Just like the more alternative, weirder side of electronic dance music,&#8221; Moore said. &#8220;It just kind of worked out. It&#8217;s kind of a test run for something we might be doing in for the Tallahassee Film Festival too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"Image\" alt=\"One of the DJs performs during the rave in the Fogg Planetarium on Sept. 11.\"  width=\"880\" height=\"587\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1789405933_364_.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Tristan Wood<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p> WFSU Public Media<\/p>\n<p>One of the DJs performs during the rave in the Fogg Planetarium on Sept. 11.<\/p>\n<p>At least 50 people showed up for the dry event that was free to the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Challenger Learning Center Fogg Planetarium was open late Friday night, but it wasn&#8217;t showing the stars.
