DESCRIPTION:"Explore the stars through Islamic astronomy and create your 
 own constellation story in this creative workshop!\n\nHave you ever look
 ed up at the night sky and wondered what stories the stars might tell? ?
 \n\nJoin us on a journey through the rich astronomical traditions of the
  Muslim world\, where constellations were more than patterns of stars. T
 hey were characters in folk tales\, symbols woven into cultural traditio
 ns\, and keys to understanding the cosmos.\n\nIn this interactive worksh
 op\, we will explore The Book of Fixed Stars\, the seminal 10th century 
 work of the Persian astronomer Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi. Combining scientif
 ic observation with beautiful artistic illustrations\, this text shaped 
 the study of astronomy across the Muslim world\, from Andalusia to India
 \, and influenced generations of astronomers.\n\nInspired by al-Sufi's c
 onstellation illustrations\, you'll then have the opportunity to design 
 your own constellation\, create its story\, and imagine what it might re
 present in the night sky. Perfect for curious minds\, aspiring astronome
 rs\, artists\, and storytellers\n of all ages.\n\nEveryone welcome to pa
 rticipate. Please book here: \nMapping the Heavens: Constellations in Is
