Cultural Constellations

February 21, 2025

7 to 9 p.m.

Written in the stars are the stories of our ancestors. Cultures from around the world have created stories based on the constellations they have formed in the night sky.  These stories allow us to reconnect with them and their views of the world. Join us on Fridays this February as we explore Anishinaabe and European constellations, and weather permitting, view some of these constellations through our amazing telescope.
