Winter Star Gazing, Constellations, and Stories

Preregistration is required for this free program.
One of the tragedies of our culture is that winter, and sunsets, send us indoors where we are insulated by a roof from the wonders of the night skies. Earlier cultures of our place did not suffer from these maladies. Each sunset, was an invitation to look up, and wonder. The Paiute peoples had a phrase, spoken at nightfall, as they turned their gaze, not to Netflix or Fortnite, but to the heavens. This phrase, “Tu Omp I Av, Tu Weep”, translates to–the sky is beautiful, just as the earth. Join us to explore the wonders of the night skies, and in the process we hope that you will be reminded of the wonders underfoot here in the wilds of Dallas County.
