Planetarium Show: Amazing Astronomers of Antiquity

Amazing Astronomers of Antiquity
Discover how the Pantheon is an astronomical instrument, how Eratosthenes measured the Earth’s circumference, how the Saqqara Step Pyramid depicts the turning stars, who first said that the Earth orbits the Sun, and who created the Antikythera Mechanism with dials and gears to predict motions of the sun, moon, and planets. The seven most Amazing Astronomers of Antiquity are responsible for most of the astronomy we still use every day: 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.
