Astronomy is humanity’s oldest science, one that humans have been studying ever since we were able to look up. In this show, we will explore the night sky through the eyes of astronomers spanning from Paleolithic cave paintings of constellations to Han dynasty recordings of supernovae. Take a journey through time to learn about the oldest clocks and calendars, the precise mapping of the movements of the stars thousands of years ago, and ancient observations of phenomena modern astronomers are still studying today!
