Learn about the constellations named after Greek mythological characters and map your own constellation on a canvas to take home.
About this Event

Learn about the myths surrounding the constellations first mapped by the Ancient Greek philosopher Hipparchus. This event takes place on the summer solstice so you can go home and look at the constellations you just learned about that night.

We will also make our own constellations on canvas for you to take home and enjoy.
