Astronomy lecture: Living with the Stars on the Day of the Dead

A lecture by Dr. Isabel Hawkins examining the astronomical significance of cross-quarter days between equinoxes and solstices. The presentation connects ancient Mesoamerican cultures understanding of seasonal celestial events with the timing of corn harvest and Day of the Dead traditions. While thematically connected to Mexican cultural practices, the event is framed as an astronomy education program rather than a Latin cultural celebration.
