Looking to the Skies: Ancient and Modern Astronomers

At Jemez Historic Site
7/18/26, Saturday
11:00am - 1:00pm

Jemez Historic Site

Learn about past and modern perspectives of astronomy from an Indigenous point of view at Jemez Historic Site. We’ll have a special presentation to discuss how Southwestern Indigenous people observed and believed about the world above them and how the worlds above and around them are connected and related. We’ll use special sun viewing telescopes to take a closer look at the sun after the presentation.

This program is included with admission of $7 for adults and free to children 16 years and younger, Tribal members, NM disabled veterans, NM foster families, MNMF members, and Friends of the Coronado Historic site members.
