Star stories: A tour of the night sky
Sept. 4 | 7-8 p.m. and 8-9 p.m.
Modern astronomers use 88 constellations to systematically name stars and designate regions of the sky. These objects are formed by bright stars in our sky that appear to be close to each other. Many of these constellations held specific cultural importance to different civilizations. We will look at several constellations and discuss the myths and legends they are associated with.
Free tickets will be available to reserve at 8 a.m. CT on Friday, Aug. 28.
Shows are recommended for engaged grade school students through adults. Shows are strongly discouraged for ages 2 and under. Please be prepared to turn off phones and smartwatches and remove lighted shoes so that all participants may enjoy the show in its intended dark, quiet environment. Please arrive five minutes before your show, or ticket reservations may be released to allow for walk-in attendees.
