For millennia people have used the night sky as a compass, a calendar, and a canvas to express their cultural ideology. Stories Behind the Stars combines myths from around the world, science, and imagination to introduce the audience to the night sky. We will discuss how to locate and recognize many of the major summer constellations, and how to navigate by the stars. Using our eyes we will meet villains, heroes, and lovers.

Bring your curiosity, a sense of wonder, and dress for the nighttime temps. You might also like to bring bug protection and a water bottle or a warm drink. Kids are welcome with an adult—Matt brings decades of experience as an elementary school teacher.

This program is free to CLC members, $10 suggested donation for non-members, and space is limited. Please register in advance above so that we can let you know of any changes to the schedule. You’ll receive directions to the location a couple of days before the event. Storm date/cloudy sky date will be Wednesday, August 20.
