A celebration of the darkness in the heart of our city at Historic Northampton "As night falls over Northampton on Tuesday April 22, we’ll gather on the Historic Northampton lawn to observe together the profound changes nature undergoes every 24 hours – the sights, sounds, smells and sensations of the temperature falling; the wind shifting; animals from birds to mammals to insects around us heading for sleep or waking up for a night’s activity; and, if weather permits, the stars coming out.  Telescopes will be on hand for stargazing, but the primary focus will be on naked-eye viewing. We’ll use all our senses to tune in to nature,”  (Rain date April 26)
