With a group of friends, watch the moon rise and learn, on another less moon-bright evening, to identify three constellations in the night sky.
Why? Because being outside at night is super fun and a hero must learn how to deeply consider all aspects of life, including the night. And also, because “consider” means “with the stars,” you do it with the stars.
Alvaro Demarzi, my “constellations instructor,” and I in the amazing little planetarium at Sierra College just after his wonderful tour of the summer and winter night skies.
Alvaro teaching inside the planetarium — Rosa, my daughter, used a flash to take photo and light up the “night sky.” She also blinded Alvaro for a minute or so — whoops!
Watching the moon rise in Sea Ranch, CA. That’s my mom doing the watching — I’m taking the photo (not a very good one, as usual).
