The VIC Staff will be bringing out the 16" Celestron Deep Space Telescope to explore the winter night sky as Orion rises overhead, the Big Dipper shows us the North Star, and the 7 Sisters of Pleiades dance over the winter darkness. Dress appropriately for standing outside in cold temperatures. The program begins at 7:30 PM. Cost: $10 per person. Friends of the VIC: $6.
