KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Join the Taylor Observatory-Norton Planetarium on Saturday, Sept. 21, for its “Window to the Universe” program.

The program will take place from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the observatory, located at 5725 Oak Hills Lane in Kelseyville.

Taylor Observatory's staff member Edward Giannelli will be presenting "The Robot takes the Wheel.”

Enjoy an update on the Mars mission.  One Earth year after landing, Curiosity successfully used autonomous navigation to decide for herself how to drive across unseen terrain on Mars.

In a first for this mission, Curiosity evaluated images of her surroundings and chose the safest route, bringing her closer to her eventual goal, Mount Sharp.

Lake County's Window to the Universe is held on the third Saturday of each month.

The evening's event includes a science topic presentation, a planetarium experience and astronomical viewing. Public Events are held regardless of weather. Please dress accordingly.

Suggested donation is $5 per adult and $3 per child under 12 years.
