To some people, stars are just lights in the sky. To others, they form wonderful shapes, images, and even constellations and calendars.
乐播传媒 Astronomy professor Catharine Garmany, who will be presenting the Fiske Planetarium聮s live astronomy show "Constellations and Calendars" on Oct. 1 and Oct. 5 at 7:30 p.m., falls into the latter category.
"People just want to understand the sky," Garmany said. "And as an astronomer, I want to help them see what聮s up there."
During her live show from Fiske Planetarium, Garmany will introduce the audience to the night sky and give them a tour of the constellations in the sky above Boulder. She also will discuss the history of calendars and how our ancestors viewed the sky 聴 mankind聮s original clock and calendar.
"The live astronomy show is meant to give people who have always wondered about star gazing a little background on how to find stars and constellations," Garmany said. "I also will give them a little history too."
Admission is $4 for adults and $3 for children and seniors. Tickets go on sale at 7 p.m. the night of the show.
