Black History Month: Diversity and Astronomy

Did you know that Harriet Tubman’s Underground Railroad song “Follow the drinking gourd” is said to be a star-map for guiding the enslaved to freedom?

Join us for a talk from Stowstargazers who will reflect on diversity, ethnicity and inclusion in stargazing and astronomy. The evening will also feature an exclusive guided walk through the reserve to view the night sky (weather permitting). In preparation for the tour, Michael will share some tips and tactics on urban stargazing.
