Happy little trees, people. Happy little trees.

Look up! The night sky is not only incredibly beautiful and full of wonders to behold, its continuous motion is the key to our understanding of how the universe works. Early peoples watched the sky, mapping patterns and tracking the intricate cycles of celestial motion, and told rich stories to explain it all. From these observations the first calendars, clocks, religions, and sciences were born. Our ancestors would know which constellations were up, what phase the moon was in, and which planets were visible at any given time. These skills are lost to many in modern times.
Participants will learn about the formation of the universe, celestial motion, and objects in our solar system. In class, we will look at images of gorgeous night sky gems like globular clusters, nebulae, galaxies, comets, planets, and moons. Afterward, we will go outside and reconnect with the night sky. We’ll look at the moon, identify planets, and find the summer constellations. During the walk, the instructor will share stories that people from around the world have been telling about the stars for ages. Once you learn the basics, the night sky will come alive as you’ve never seen before, and you’ll delight in learning new constellations as the earth turns through the seasons.
Participants should plan to bring blankets or chairs to sit on.
Rain Date: July 20
“If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years, how man would marvel and stare.”–Ralph Waldo Emerson
