KELSEYVILLE – Taylor Observatory-Norton Planetarium is presenting a special show for the holidays, “Mystery of the Christmas Star.”

“Mystery of the Christmas Star” allows audiences to journey back 2,000 years to Bethlehem as we seek to discover a scientific explanation for the star the wise men followed to find the baby Jesus.

This modern retelling of the Christmas story is sure to charm and captivate audiences of all ages.

The planetarium is a perfect place to study this because of its ability to exactly reproduce the skies as seen from Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago.

Public show dates are at 4 p.m., 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. Sundays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, from Dec. 20 through Jan. 10.

Admission is $4 for adults and $2 for children less than 8 years old. The theater has a 34-seat capacity.
