December Skyshow and Spring Schedule

I haven't posted here this fall, so perhaps an early New Year's resolution is in order.

Today and tomorrow we present our final shows of the fall semester. We'll be featuring some research news from the Gettysburg College Observatory as we'll as a total lunar eclipse viewable from our region in the early AM hours of Dec 21. It's the last favorable for eastern North America until 2015, so let's hope it's clear!

The Spring 2011 schedule is set and available at the planetarium (paper) and on the web site. In addition to the monthly skyshows, we'll be doing the New Year show again, and in April something new: a solar system scale model made by taking a 1,000-yard walk.

Clear Skies!
