This class will review what’s happening in the night sky regarding positions of the moon, planets and stars and their motions. We will then explore the nature of these objects and others unseen to the naked eye. In the end we will marvel at the magnitudes and diversity of the furniture of our universe and gain a sense of how we belong.
