- 🎃 Halloween’s roots are written in the #stars.🔭🧪 Before candy & costumes, it marked a cross-quarter day — when ancient #skywatchers tracked the Sun’s halfway point between #equinox & #solstice. 🪐 #Halloween #Astronomy is TOMORROW! 🔗 REGISTER: bit.ly/HalloweenAstro #STEMeducation #HalloweenScience
- To ancient skywatchers, these halfway points weren’t just dates — they were cosmic thresholds. Moments when the veil between light and dark, life and death, summer and winter… felt thin. That’s why Halloween echoes with both celebration and mystery. 🌒 bit.ly/HalloweenAstro #ScienceEducation #STEM
- Our ancestors tracked these alignments using only the sky — no telescopes, no apps, just keen eyes and deep curiosity. 🧭 From this came calendars, rituals, & eventually, the science of astronomy itself. Halloween, in a sense, is a festival of celestial geometry. 🎃 #AstronomyTeacher #STEMEducation
