Course overview
Do you find the Festive season challenging or lonely? Perhaps you need a break from all the noise and build up that surrounds Christmas and you just need to press pause, take a breath and relax. Give yourself some ‘me’ time, take a break for a little while and join WEA tutor Jane Williams, where she will explore the myths behind well-known constellations of the winter sky, such as Orion the Hunter, the Seven Sisters, and the Great Bear and much more.
Course description
You can probably spot the Plough (or Saucepan) in the sky so as to find North, and may know that it's also called the Great Bear, but do you know the story behind that Bear, and what her name is? Maybe you see Orion in the winter sky, and know he was a Hunter, but what did he hunt? Who was Cassiopia, other than "that W-shaped one", and why is Andromeda near her in the sky?
