Comet Fever and Comet ISON
“Comets can arouse public curiosity when they are bright and disappoint people when they don’t live up to their hype,” says Pan Hanrahan, Planetarium director. “While Comet ISON will not be the ‘Comet of the Century,’ it still has a chance to be visible to the naked eye". Comet ISON will make its closest approach to the sun on Thanksgiving morning and if it survives, may even show its tail in the blue sky just after sunrise.

There are three shows this evening, with start times at 6:00PM, 7:15PM and 8:30PM.

The Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) Planetarium opens the year with more great public shows, a move to a new night and coming soon, a state-of-the-art projection system.

Each show is presented under a realistic representation of the night sky, featuring the latest galactic, stellar and planetary images.

Visitors are encouraged to ask questions during each program. Children are welcome to attend.
