AstroFriday

The Luminaria Stargaze will begin at 6:30 p.m., weather permitting. Since the weekend of this date is the weekend of the luminaria lighting for the campus, we will be offering a 3-hour stargaze, with all lights off on the campus. This will take place between the planetarium and the little theater. Parking is available in the lots on campus available to walkers for the Luminaria event. If it is cloudy, rainy, or snowy, the stargaze will be canceled. We hope you will join us for this Christmas event under the stars.

The planetarium reserves the right to substitute shows. It is also possible (though not probable) for there to be a change in a show's date due to unforeseen circumstances. 

For more information, please feel free to call David Mayeux at 566-3361, or e-mail at mayeuxd@sanjuancollege.edu. Further information about Planetarium presentations and policies are available on the web on the SJC Planetarium Facebook page, or on the Events page on the SJC website.
