About this Event
We'll start the evening with stunning real-time footage of the northern lights filmed in Yellowknife, the capital city of Canada’s Northwest Territories. Auroras, Lights of Wonder blends scientific exploration of their colors and shapes with cultural myths and legends surrounding this celestial spectacle. Images from the ground are joined by an astronaut's view of the lights from the International Space Station. After bathing in auroral light, we’ll explore our local winter skies using our starball with a live presentation of the Moon, stars, planets, and constellations gracing our nights.
