Throughout recorded history, humans have paid attention to the skies, for reasons ranging from curiosity and wonder to the belief that celestial objects influence and foretell the events of our lives. In this presentation we will explore some of what is known about the connection of ancient peoples to the sky. We will also discuss the relationship between the practices of astronomy and astrology, and the distinction between them.
Free tickets will be available to reserve at 8:00 AM CT on Friday 1/9
