12 Mar–22 July, (Mon–Fri) 2pm, Astronomy of the Great

Pyramid, The pyramids of ancient Egypt were literally “stargates” from where the spirits of dead pharaohs were believed to ascend to the heavens. The largest of all pyramids, the Great Pyramid of Khufu, contains an elaborate system of shafts. At the time the pyramid was built, these were directed towards the most important stars in the sky. The planetarium, since it can be set back to ancient times, is the ideal device for demonstrating these alignments. (Excluding 1 May. Tue 8pm. Sat, Sun, and 21 Mar, 22, 25,27 Apr 2.30pm.)
