What I Learned at the Cusco Planetarium About General Astronomy

Here readers will find the background information provided to us through the presentation at the Cusco Planetarium

This information is not everything one could know about general astronomy, but it provides background for what readers will need to know once they get into Incan astronomy.

What I Learned at the Cusco Planetarium About Incan Astronomy

Here readers will find, in my own words and through my own pictures, what I learned from the presentation given to us at the quaint planetarium a few kilometers away from the main city of Cusco.

It is important to understand how the people of Cusco understand general astrology in order for their specific views on their own astrology to be understood in a fair way.

The Inkan Astronomy Handbook by Erwin Salazar Garcés

Collected here is the information provided in the novel mentioned above, which serves to educate people on the vastness of Incan astronomy.

This is different than what is provided by the planetarium because there is a lot more detail within the pages of a book than can be crammed into a one-hour presentation.

The Cusco Planetarium

Here readers will find links to a few things related to the planetarium our group visited while in Cusco.

This includes a link to the website of the planetarium so people can choose to do more research on their own, or potentially plan their own visit there, as well as pages dedicated to the various presentations we observed.

Crash Course (YouTube)

Here readers will find a link to a playlist created and curated by an extremely informative family-friendly, and accessible YouTube channel created by the Green brothers, Hank and John (The Fault in Our Stars, Paper Towns).

This channel has served me well for many years throughout my educational career, and I sincerely believe that they will be of assistance to anyone who wants a more foundational understanding of astronomy.
