Adrian, MI – The Robinson Planetarium at Adrian College has set its program schedule for December. Shows are for all ages and scheduled on Fridays — December 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, and 30th — starting at 7 p.m.
All programs are free and open to the public. Each program lasts approximately 50 minutes.
The Planetarium’s December feature show, “Season of Light and the Michigan Night Sky,” traces the history and development of many of the world’s most endearing holiday customs through an astronomical perspective, all of which involve lighting up the winter season. It recounts the religious and cultural rituals practiced during the time of winter solstice — not only Christian and Jewish, but also Celtic, Nordic, Roman, Irish, Mexican and Hopi. It also takes a look at some light-hearted seasonal traditions such as gift-giving and kissing, music, decking the halls with greenery and Santa Claus.
The Robinson Planetarium is located at the eastern end of Peelle Hall on the corner of Charles and Williams streets on the Adrian College campus.
