Yankee Stargazers

This is a 250 year tribute to American astronomers. Stars figure large in our early American identity from the first flags of 1777 to the star charts in Ben Franklin s popular almanacs. We will explore how the science of astronomy developed from the signing of the Declaration of Independence right up to the present time. And we will clue you in on where to look in the sky to see a star, whose light began on its journey to the Earth 250 years ago, and is only arriving now, for us to view in 2026.
