About the event
A docent will point out night sky highlights and upcoming astronomical events. This is followed by a narrated fulldome presentation (no video for this show). Explore the historical origins of Halloween. They are partly astronomical, as Halloween falls midway between equinox and solstice, and they are partly cultural and religious, born in the ancient northwestern parts of modern day UK. “Samhain” is both the name of the ancient Gaelic holiday and the modern Gaelic name for the month of November.
Store the harvest and save the light against the long darkness to come.
