The Astronomy Behind the Signs of the Zodiac

Ever wonder about the actual science behind your zodiac sign? On Saturday, April 12 at 10:30am, Rex Herndon will present “The Astronomy Behind the Signs of the Zodiac” at Winfield Public Library. Join us for an enlightening look at the connection between our night sky and the zodiac signs -  including causes of day and night, the eight seasons, and the 12 zodiacal constellations.

The Astronomy Behind the Signs of the Zodiac is part of WPL's "Written in the Stars" programming. An initiative of Humanities Kansas, "Written in the Stars" is a chapbook featuring 10 poems that reflect upon the stars and planets of the Kansas night sky with original illustrations by Matthew Willie Garcia. For more information on “Written in the Stars,” and other upcoming programs, visit our online calendar at wpl.org.
