Pipehenge is a tool for framing an observer's
place in the universe. Using sun shadows,
compass points can be determined for pipehenge.
With these the points, sunrise and sunset
can be shown for each day of the year.
Paths of the sun at the solstices and equinoxes
can be determined.
Come learn about your place in the universe.

The program will use the Hyde Park Free Library's
