“Dudley Night” at the Henry Hudson Planetarium

Title:  Ancient Horizons and Egyptian Astronomy

Journey back in time at the Henry Hudson Planetarium and explore the
astronomy of ancient Egypt.  Discover the importance of the stars,
planets and other astronomical phenomena in guiding the Egyptians in the
construction and alignment of the tombs and temples of their leaders and
creation of early zodiacs and calendars.   You will have an opportunity
to see the skies as the Egyptians saw them thousands of years ago.

Directions
Henry Hudson Planetarium

(The archaeology exhibit "Excavating Egypt" will be at the Albany Institute of History & Art from late January to June)
