      Start Watching Stargazing – A Graphic Guide To The Heavens

      To the earliest observers, the cosmos was the realm of the gods. They controlled day and night, the passage of the sun and moon. So too the constellations, and those wandering stars we know today as planets. Great monuments honored the gods, but they had a practical function: They were the first observatories, marking the rising and setting of the sun, the moon and the stars. A celestial calendar with which the acients could measure the seasons and predict events. Thus was born astronomy.

      Today, this nightly progress of the stars has little changed from the view of those first observers. What has changed is our understanding. Myth has yielded to science. This documentary is a very good introduction to the science of looking into the sky. Definitely worth a watch for beginning astronomers who want to understand the movements of celestial objects.
