Special Observing Event: Orion & the Winter Hexagon

With the moon's glare absent this week, we'll explore the winter sky and the bounty of bright stars surrounding its signature constellation, Orion the Hunter. We'll begin in the planetarium, then head outside for viewing through telescopes, thanks to amateur astronomer volunteers. We'll also get  our first bearings in the skies of winter with Winter Hexagon of first magnitude stars! If clouds interfere, we'll view spectacular images indoors. Dress warmly.
