AMAZING ASTRONOMERS OF ANTIQUITY

The seven most AMAZING ASTRONOMERS OF ANTIQUITY are responsible for most of the astronomy we still use everyday: watching sunrises, sunsets and the phasing moon; counting days, months and years; predicting the seasons and eclipses; gazing at the stars overhead and even reading horoscopes. Join in celebrating these amazing discoveries.

An additional short movie on Summer stargazing is included.

If the skies are clear after the movies we will use the telescopes.
