The Illinois State University Planetarium is pleased to offer “Mayan Archaeoastronomy: Observers of the Universe,” running weekends from September 5 through November 15. Showtimes are Fridays at 7:30 p.m., and Saturdays at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. There are no presentations of “Mayan Archaeoastronomy” September 19-27, with musical laser-concerts under the ISU Planetarium dome these weekends.
“Mayan Archaeoastronomy” is a unique planetarium show intertwining science and mythology. Viewers take a poetic journey, exploring how the ancient Mayans viewed and understood the Universe. This feast of colors and sounds makes for an artistic interpretation of the Universe that you’ll long remember. Stunning 360° visuals create the impression of being inside a beautiful, stylized painting.
