| Skywatchers of Africa |
Feb 12th 2010 at 07:30pm |
Ritter Planetarium at UT |

Since the beginning of human experience, the people of Africa have used their knowledge of the sky to meet their physical needs, for survival and for navigation. They have used the sky as a guide to build their societies and for calendar making. The sky also shapes their spiritual lives, playing an important role in many ceremonies and providing clues to the deepest human questions. “Skywatchers of Africa,” produced by the Adler Planetarium, examines several cultures, past and present, from across the African continent. The show presents how these examples are similar to the experience of people all around the world. Location: Ritter Planetarium at UT
