Window to the Universe is a monthly event at Taylor Observatory (usually on the fourth Saturday of every month). For a small entry fee and free to all Lake County Students, visitors are treated to a show in the 32-seat planetarium through the Digitalis Epsilon projector. On clear nights, telescopes are available to scan the sky for cosmic views of stars, planets and galaxies. Lecturers will share their knowledge on topics ranging from using stars for navigation, how-to talks on celestial navigation,  using your own telescope, the search for alien life and so much more.
