The Story in Our Stars 2019

As the midwinter Moon waxes toward its first quarter, and the star Sirius resumes her position as queen of heaven for the season, we’ll gather as human beings have since the most ancient ages of mankind, out of a longing to understand our place in the world by reading the stars overhead. In our current age, now more than 100 years after the introduction of the electric lightbulb, many people throughout the United States and around the world now live without access to the “unpolluted dark” and its stories.

For this presentation, the Mackinaw Area Historical Society is pleased to present Mary Stewart Adams, Star Lore Historian and founder of Mackinaw’s International Dark Sky Park, who will share engaging stories and lively insight into the celestial events for the year 2019, within their historical context.
