    Plymouth Planetarium Invites You To Discover Halloween's Origins In The Night Skies

    2024-09-28

    Star-gazers and Halloween lovers alike will enjoy this one-hour, double-feature that will teach you how Halloween is tightly connected to the night skies. The W. Russell Blake Planetarium has announced "The Celestial Origins of Halloween", a festive family-friendly event that invites you to discover more about this spooky Holiday by looking up.

    Halloween: Celestial Origins

    The first part of this double feature, "Halloween: Celestial Origins", will explain Halloween's connection to our stars, moon, and sky.

    "Experience the history of Halloween and how it fits into the seasons as a 'cross-quarter day.' From Celtic roots around the harvest and bonfires to modern celebrations, see why the night is celebrated as one of spirits from beyond and sweet treats! See how Samhain, and All Saints Day would eventually transform into Halloween. Traverse the night sky and learn what planets, constellations, and stars will be out on your Halloween evening. A fun filled program for the whole family!" - W. Russell Blake Planetarium

    Seasonal Star Gazing

    The second part of the double feature is "Seasonal Star Gazing", described as "a brief overview of the current night sky, and a Passport to the Universe, a journey from our Solar System to the Virgo Supercluster and back again during which you’ll get an astronaut’s-eye view of the incredible objects that constitute our Universe and an inspiring reminder of the limitlessness of human imagination and ingenuity."
