Produced by Evans & Sutherland Digital Theater, “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.
The show investigates possible dates for the birth of Christ and looks at recorded sightings of significant astronomical events during this timeframe.
What signs in the sky could have been remarkable enough to cause the wise men to travel across the desert from Babylon to Bethlehem just to see a newborn King? 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.
Show prices are $6 for adults and $3 for children under 12.
The show is not recommended for children under age 6.
Reservations are recommended.

The event will start with refreshments at 7 p.m. and the meeting at 7:15 p.m. in preparation for the annual Christmas Bird Count which takes place on Saturday, Dec. 18.
The bird identification program is a great way to learn about the common and not-so-common birds of Lake County, especially if you are planning to participate in the bird count.
Even if you are not, however, learning about common birds is very fun and gratifying, noted Redbud Audubon’s president, Marilyn Waits.
Brad Barnwell will be presenting an updated presentation with new photographs of many of Lake County’s birds.
The program emphasizes the field characteristics of birds likely to be seen during the count.
The meeting is open to the public, including people who do not wish to participate in the bird count.
