*MID SUMMER'S EVE AT STONEHENGE*
Tuesday, June 20, 2023
7:00 p.m.

[image: UK11-081_Stonehenge_at_night_15_minute_exposure_1.jpg]

On the night before each solstice, we present our Stonehenge lecture.

What was the purpose of the world’s most famous megalithic monument?  Who
constructed it and how?

Was Stonehenge an astronomical observatory, a ritual center or both…or
neither?

Lawrence Price, the planetarium’s Stonehenge scholar, guides this virtual
tour of Stonehenge on the eve of the summer solstice.

Admission by donation.
