NEA Big Read - "The Sky We Share" Planetarium Show- YSU Ward Beecher Planetarium

When: Saturday, September 21, 2019 - 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM
Where: Main Library at Other

Join the Library at YSU's Ward-Beecher Planetarium for a special showing of "The Sky We Share."  Our constellations mainly come from the Greeks, so why do they have Latin names? And what’s up with those Arabic star names, anyway? In this live presentation of the night sky, we will journey through the stars and explore the different ways they take shape across cultures and the ages.  Learn of the importance of the stars for navigation, time-keeping, and storytelling.  In conjunction with the NEA Big Read selection "Into the Beautiful North" by Luis Alberto Urrea.  Open to the public.  Ward Beecher Planetarium, One University Plaza, Youngstown, OH 44555. The NEA Big Read is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.
