KELSEYVILLE – Docents at the Taylor Observatory and Norton Planetarium will present a talk on space craft astronomy on Saturday, Jan. 17.

The event takes place from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.

The talk will be followed by a fun interactive planetarium presentation by the “Olde Stargeezer,” observatory coordinator Vic Stryker.

If it is clear there will be viewing through the observatory's 16-inch research grade telescope.

A $3 donation is requested. There also will be a chance to purchase $1 raffle tickets to win a star dial.

The Taylor Observatory has been in continuous operation for more than 25 years. In addition to its telescope, it features a 36-seat classroom and a planetarium with a 30-foot dome for the Digitarium star projector system. Public events are held each month.
