Description:
In the Northern Hemisphere, the center of the Milky Way Galaxy reaches its highest evening appearances in the Summer. In this Webinar we’ll discuss this great band of diffuse light spread across the night sky and how best to
observe it. We’ll discuss how Maya people have understood and expressed their ideas about the Milky Way through the ages. Next, we’ll summarize current research about our home Galaxy, including the discovery of a supermassive
black hole at its center. Finally, we will demonstrate an activity and showcase some educational resources that you can use with your audiences to better understand the Milky Way Galaxy.
