Stars are the basic building blocks of galaxies. Our Milky Way is filled with stars both new and old. We will explore two distinct populations of star clusters. Open clusters are formed in the galactic disc and become dispersed throughout the Milky Way. Globular clusters are formed around galaxies and are ancient relics that hover around the galactic halo like moths about a porch light. Our programs are interactive and challenging for astronomy students of all ages.
