When Cities Steal the Stars: Dinner and a Dark Sky Reckoning

Sunday, Nov. 2 | Hilltown Commons
Rensselaerville, NY

Join us for a remarkable dinner conversation with Dr. Mindy Townsend — the Dudley astronomer at Siena University, science communicator, and fierce defender of darkness. She’ll guide us through a startling truth: Most of us live in a sky so washed out by electric glare that we’ve lost sight of the Milky Way—our cosmic heritage, erased by our own making.

By the end of the evening, you might never look at a streetlamp in the same way.

3-course dinner with wine & cocktails, followed by star gazing and fireside conversation.

Welcome to Curious Table.

A gathering place for curious minds and thoughtful conversation. Throughout the Capital Region and the Hudson Valley.

Come hungry to feed your mind.
