The focus of this course is to help individuals understand what they see when they look up in the night sky. There are star patterns, planets, nebulae, star clusters, galaxies, and more. This course will introduce basic mythologies of the constellations and how to find the patterns across the sky throughout the seasons.

In this increasingly digital world, learn to reconnect with nature, the sky, and the outdoors by learning about the oldest science that exists: astronomy. For thousands of years, humans have been observing the sky and telling stories and legends to explain what they saw. Many ancient civilizations studied the stars and used them as a calendar, which was helpful as agriculture arose in human society.

With the advancement of technology, humans have increasingly become disconnected from nature. Use this course as a boost to help you go outside, view the night sky, and share what you have learned with others.
