Night Sky #2 – Mythology behind the Constellations

An evening series of stargazing, navigation, and history on the grounds of the Lighthouse Museum.

Building on the themes of the September program, this evening will explore the mythology behind the constellations, how the night sky has changed over time, and the growing impact of light pollution on our view of the stars.

Bring a blanket, pack some snacks and raise a glass under the stars.
