Have you ever looked up at the stars and wanted to know the names of the brightest stars? Wondered what/if any planets are visible? In just one session with us, our promise is that you be introduced to the most well-known constellations in the northern hemisphere and that by the end of our session you will be able to navigate the dark skies yourself!
