It may be cold, but it’s also the best time of the year for watching the heavens. The crisp cool air is clear and the longer nights are ideal for scanning the universe. Tonight, December 4th, at 7pm, you can attend This Month’s Sky: December at The University of Wyoming Harry C. Vaughan Planetarium, located in the basement of the Physical Science building.

If you can brave the cold, December offers the longest nights of the year for star-gazing.  Tonight, we will introduce you to the most famous of the sky’s wintertime gems: how to find them and what they are. After that, stick around at 8:10pm for Laser Light: Best of Pink Floyd
