Ethical Night Rangers: ‘Savoring the Solstice: A Midsummer Celebration of Our Star’
Mark the longest day of the year with a tribute to our life-giving Sun. We’ll celebrate the Summer Solstice with activities and discussions centered on the star that sustains us all. It’s an evening to soak up the rays of the day and herald the peak of summer.
Night Rangers, a community science program of the New York Society for Ethical Culture, invites you to rediscover the beauty of the night sky while learning about light pollution and its impact on ecosystems, human health, and our shared environment.
Come for the science, stay for the awe—and don’t forget to look up. 🌙
Registration link TBA!
