Ancient Egyptian chronology and the astronomical orientation of pyramids

Article Abstract:

The dating of the ancient Egyptian pyramids of Giza has until now been accurate to within only approximately one hundred years, because there is no written evidence of when they were built, and carbon dating cannot be more precise. New research reveals a more accurate means of dating the pyramids by looking at how the Egyptians used northern or circumpolar stars for orientation of the pyramids to the north.

Joys of darkness: Planetaria are getting even better at capturing the glories and the challenges of the night sky. They are underused not only in that astronomical context, but for other sciences too

Article Abstract:

The opportunities for better exploitation of planetaria are examined.
