Looking to the Skies: Ancient and Modern Astronomers

This program focuses on activities related to different ways people in the ancient past viewed the sky in the daytime and at night. There will be presentations on ancient astronomy, as well as on modern-day astronomy to explain how people of the past interpreted the sky and how modern-day astronomy can tell what is out there. Pending the weather, the presentation will be followed by safe sun observation through two types of solar telescopes.

This program is included with admission of $7 for adults and free to children 16 years and younger, NM residents 60 years and older with ID, people with Native/Tribal affiliations, disabled veterans, and foster families.
