The show “Galaxies” will be offered at 2 p.m. the Sundays
of Jan. 26, Feb. 2, 9, 16 and 23 and March 2 and 9. Open to the public free of

makes up the Milky Way and the other billions of galaxies in the universe.
On Monday evenings, the “Night Sky” program is offered at
8 p.m. in the planetarium to look in detail at objects in the current night
sky. However, actual sky viewings will not be held while the Arthur J. Pejsa
Observatory is being upgraded.
