Telling Sky Legends – Live with Q&A!
with Vivian White, Director of Free Choice Learning at the ASP

If you’re familiar with the Greek constellations, explore how other civilizations have envisioned the sky. And if you’re a beginning stargazer, discover them all! Learn how to teach about sky legends in ways respectful to everyone, whether it’s a commonly told story or a glimpse into a belief system that is sacred to a culture. Included is an activity to create your own Sky Story with a constellation visible in the sky this season.
