Campfire Talk: Stellar Stargazing Basics
“A philosopher once asked, ‘Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human?’”
― Neil Gaiman
Through the centuries, mankind has gazed up at the stars in awe and wonder. They inspire us, confound us, guide us, and so much more. Learn to navigate the night sky as we identify summer constellations and learn about the folklore surrounding stars and constellations from different cultures around the world. Join Dr. Laura Weinkauf from the Department of Chemistry and Geosciences at Jacksonville State University to learn more about the stellar world of stars.
