Orion Circle

Members of the Orion Circle and Orion Supernova contribute at the $500 or $1,000 level and meet once a year for a special, invitation-only festival in West Texas, hosted by the McDonald Observatory Director.

The 2013 Orion Festival has already passed, and the date for the 2014 Festival has not yet been set. The Orion Circle is a wonderful group of donors who are making a difference in the lives of students and teachers through their generosity.

To do the most you can to improve science education nationwide — and to gain access to the most current Observatory news and events — become an Orionid today.
