Check out our lineup this week! If you are looking fun and unique way to enjoy the season, come check out a holiday planetarium show! Tickets are only $5.00 per person and can be purchased at the ticketing link in our bio!
Jupiter will rise at sunset & be up all night tonight, shining at a brilliant magnitude of –2.8, giving Venus a run for its money. This is the best time all year to see it, and even through binoculars, you can see its four largest moons and some of its striped clouds.
Tomorrow is the first week of our December Saturday show schedule.
NEW SHOW @ 11am- Let It Snow
1pm- Mystery of the Christmas Star
Both are excellent options to celebrate the season. You may purchase tickets and save your seats by heading to hdplanetarium.ticketleap.com!
A few weeks ago, on a snowy Thursday, Planetarium team Lisa & Kelly traveled to Lambeau Field. It wasn't for a Packer game but for a grant from the Green Bay Packer Foundation! The money will be used to improve our audio system for those with hearing impairments. #PackersGiveBack
"The first of our holiday season shows is featured today!
Join us at 11 am for ""Khrumka's Adventure in the Winter Forest."" It's a beautiful show with some great astronomy content. Tickets are just $5.00/person and can be reserved at hdplanetarium.ticketleap.com!
We are excited to celebrate the wonderful people who volunteer to help us run smoothly. Both Retzer & the Horwitz-DeRemer Planetarium will honor these individuals at our annual Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast today. It's just a small ""thank you"" for the big ways they help us!

Today just may be the perfect opportunity to use your library summer reading passes that your kiddos earned!
Hooray for another visible planet in our night sky!
Mars rises in the east-northeast around 8:30 pm. It will continue to brighten each evening, ending the month at slightly brighter than zero magnitude. See if you can sneak a peek!

Fun Fact Friday! Did you know that full moons on Thanksgiving are extremely rare? Thanksgiving can fall anywhere between Nov. 20-30, while the full moon in November can occur any day. The last time we had a Thanksgiving full moon was in 1920. It will not happen again until 2069!
Enjoy this philosophical ""Thoughtful Thursday!""
