CONSTELLATION MYTHOLOGY AND SCIENCE
For thousands of years, humans have looked to the sky and found familiar shapes in the stars that they used to tell stories about their own cultures and beliefs. This class will explore constellations from cultures around the world including Greek, Middle Eastern, Chinese, Incan, and more. We’ll also learn about how people have used constellations to navigate over land and sea, and how modern astronomers use constellations to help them map the sky and make new discoveries.

Please arrive promptly.  Doors are open 6:45 pm and will remain open until 7:00 pm
