Venus and Lucifer: Astronomy, Mythology, and the Keeping of Time Peter Klimas, Physics Teacher, Vestal High School Friday, March 28, 8:00 PM
March 28 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
The brightest light in the sky is our Sun. The second brightest light in the sky is our Moon. The third brightest light in the sky is the devil himself, Lucifer, morning star, light bringer, Venus. Come gather at Kopernik Observatory and learn what eight-fifths has to do with Venus. Come hear stories from religion and myth about the mysterious motions of this god in the sky. Make a wish on the evening star, or on the last light left in the morning after all others have faded away. Come and learn of this herald of the dawn.
