A Semiquincentennial tribute to American astronomers. Stars figure large in our early American identity – from the first flags of 1777 to the star charts in Ben Franklin’s popular almanacs. We’ll explore how the science of astronomy developed from the time of the signing of the Declaration of Independence right up to the present time. And we’ll clue you in on where to look in the sky to see a star, whose light began on its journey to Earth 250 years ago, and is only arriving now, for us to view in 2026.
