Join us as we celebrate the spring stars and constellations as they give way to the star wonders of summer. Our friend, astronomer, author & natural storyteller Stephan Martin will show you the bright and splendid starscape under a warm evening in the mountains.
Mars and Mercury will be shining above as will the best constellations of spring at best time of year to see them. Steve will point out some of the “must see” stars and constellations, including Bootes, the bear-watcher, the Little and Great Bears, Leo the Lion, and Ophiuchus, the mysterious 13th sign in the zodiac. We’ll share stories of some of these famous constellations and get a peek at the upcoming constellations of summer as they peek above the eastern horizon.
