The tools of sky watching have changed over time. A stick poked into the ground to track the sun’s shifting shadows, a rock placed to mark a point in the sky-these have given way to radio telescope arrays and satellites.

But look closely at these images, and you’ll see that the old saying is true: The more things change, the more they remain the same.

The Maya, one of the most amazing cultures of the New World, inhabited a region encompassing today’s Guatemala, Belize, Honduras and El Salvador, and parts of southern Mexico. The Maya charted the heavens and mastered a system of calendars and mathematics that remains relevant today. Once almost lost, now recovered in a special presentation in the planetarium.

Don’t miss it!

Ancient Skies: Ancient Egypt June 17, 8 to 9 p.m.

Astronomy with Binoculars August 19, 8 to 9 p.m.

Binoculars are highly versatile instruments that can reveal craters on the moon, on the moons orbiting Jupiter, the Milky Way star fields and even other galaxies. In many ways, binoculars prove superior to telescopes for those starting out in astronomy. Come to the planetarium to learn why sometimes two eyes are better than one.

Admission: $5 for adults; $3 for preteens and seniors; free for SFCC students, employees and planetarium members.
