Live YouTube webcast

Summer is the finest part of the year for stargazing because it offers warm nights and the beauty of the Milky Way running straight overhead. The constellations we see have been passed down to us across generations with patterns that reflect different stories from around the world. The American Museum of Natural History’s Carter Emmart will show you how to identify the constellations and introduce you to a few of these stories while exploring some of the science behind the familiar patterns in the sky. During the live webcast, you will be able to interact with American Museum of Natural History scientist, Dr. Jackie Faherty, by asking questions (using the chat feature) that relate to constellations.

This live OpenSpace webcast is brought to you by the STAR Library Network’s NASA@ My Library program (starnetlibraries.org) in partnership with the Lunar and Planetary Institute (lpi.usra.edu), the American Library Association (ala.org), and the American Museum of Natural History (amnh.org).
