Thanks to all of the wonderful docents for keeping it operating free of charge, for everyone; thanks to all of our guests and generous members of our community, for donations and assistance; You make it fun! Special thanks to Kris Koenig, for his hard work, dedication, and love of sharing our fabulous universe to all who desire a glimpse of the cosmos.
Yes, its that time of the year, when it gets dark early, so we've changed our hours to 6 pm to 9 pm. When we are not closed due to clouds and rain, it gets icy cold, so bundle up! Enjoy Jupiter and its Galilean moons, sparkling star clusters, far-out galaxies, our marvelous Moon, and everyone’s favorite, the Great Orion nebula, which will soon be visible! Make a wish on meteors during our constellation tours, while relaxing in the Shoemaker Open-Sky Planetarium! Come help us celebrate 2009, the International Year of Astronomy, right here in Chico!
