LIVESTREAM the talk for free: https://www.youtube.com/@dyerobservers/streams Urania: Muse of Astronomy Description: Emerging from the darkest depths and exploding in a burst of light, Christy Lee Rogers’ photographs in The Muses are sure to inspire. Figures and fabric combust in radiant scenes evoking memories of passion, tragedy, and playful exuberance. Since antiquity, muses have been called upon by artists to aid in the writing of poetry and heart-wrenching dramas, to guide the feet of dancers, to inspire laughter, or to provoke deep contemplation of history and the stars. Throughout the exhibit, visitors will be encouraged to imagine, engage, and create based on inspiration gained from The Muses . To close out The Muses Educational Series, the Parthenon has partnered with Vanderbilt’s Dyer Observatory for a talk about the myths in the stars and constellations with Vanderbilt Astronomer Dr. Erika Grundstrom. About the Speaker: Dr. Erika Grundstrom is Vanderbilt University's Director of Astronomy Labs and is an experienced educator with Vanderbilt's Program for Talented Youth. She pops up at other schools in the area with an inflatable planetarium show. As a kid, Erika lived on a farm close to the Canadian border, where she thought the Northern Lights were normal (yet totally awesome). But it was learning about constellations and their mythology that sparked a love of the stars, and it was "Star Trek: The Next Generation" that set her on a path to astrophysicist. When away from astronomy, she loves to partner dance with her husband and hang with their two kids. Additional Information About the Event: Telescope viewings follow when weather permits. This talk is recommended for teens and adults. A PROMO CODE is available for Vanderbilt students for free tickets. Please email the organizer from your vanderbilt.edu email to get the active code. JOIN THE WAITLIST if tickets are not available! We will move the talk to the scenic tented back patio with the jumbo screen if weather allows. This will make 100 more seats available. You will be emailed with further instructions the week of the event if more tickets become available.

Because this is a historic museum setting, we ask attendees to be mindful of the delicate nature of our exhibits and equipment and watch your children carefully. No running or climbing is permitted anywhere on the grounds or in the building. Dress in layers for maximum conformt because the telescopes are in an open dome and outside.

Accessibility: The exhibits on the main floor are easily accessible. The Seyfert Telescope is on the second floor and is only accessible by twenty steps, split by a large landing.
