As our ancients learned, the sky is not just a thing of beauty–it’s the ruler for the position of our planet. Understanding how our planet is aligned with the distant stars allows anyone to use the sky as a compass, a calendar and a clock. Come learn how to use the sky yourself! The target audience for Compass, Calendar, and Clock is ages 8 and up.

The fact that 88% of the human population lives in the northern hemisphere. This should not overshadow the beautiful sky that is seen in the southern hemisphere.
