250. Ancient Astronomies

We will study coordinate systems; celestial navigation; eclipses, and the motions of the sun, moon, and planets. We will then use this knowledge to view the skies through ancient eyes, especially those of Islamic and Maya astronomers, and gain insight into these cultures and their shared passion for astronomy.
