Join us for this free event!  Please register so we know you’re coming. In a rush or want to bring friends?  Just show up!

This will be a ½ hour+ for learning the names and places of the stars available in the heavens now.  Feel free to come early!

From our previous Star Watch:
Twenty minutes after sunset, the sky became a luminous dark blue, expectant of the appearance of the stars. Then a pop to the surface—Sirius, the brightest star in the heavens. We shared the mystery of what streams from Sirius when you are in her presence. This can be shared in person, in the context of the thickening figure-8 (“lemniscate”) prominent at the StarHouse Labyrinth. Then pop!pop!—Rigel and Betelgeuse. We noted the way that these two extremes of Orion are perpendicular to Orion’s Belt. Pop-pop!—Bellatrix and Saiph. The mythos of Orion overlays and hides the true power and function of the constellation, best discussed in person. These are not only points of light, as from a neighbor’s house across the street. A better metaphor is the trek through the dark forest and seeing a light through the trees and leaves, a farmhouse in the distance and the feeling that arouses of refuge and warmth and possible challenge. One should find that kind of relationship to stars in the heavens, available in person.
