Lectures and Talks

Did you know that there is an easy way to find planets as they "wander" the sky? In this talk, you'll also learn why ancient sky observers thought the planets were gods and created mythological tales about them. Finally, while listening to a recording of Gustav Holst’s (1874-1934) “The Planets,” learn how the composer created this work.
