Spring Stargazing || with Megan Eberhardt

Come bask in wonder at the beauty of the night sky! Orient yourself in place by learning how to find the directions using the stars. Place yourself in time by learning the histories and mythologies of the stars that humans have been drawing, speaking, and writing for tens of thousands of years. We are of the first generations who know so very little. But the stories are not forgotten!! With a green laser pointer in hand, Megan will trace the constellations, teach star names, and show how the different celestial bodies move through the night, the seasons, and years.Words from past participants:"Megans welcoming and respectful interactions with participants.
