Angelo State University's Department of Physics and Geosciences will present two full-dome public Planetarium shows in Spanish, said a press release Wednesday. The shows will take place in the Vincent Nursing-Physical Science Building at 2333 Vanderventer Street on December 1.
"El Universo Maya" ("Tales of the Maya Skies") will run at 7 p.m., and "Las Estrellas de los Farones" ("Stars of the Pharoahs") will immediately follow at 8 p.m. Both shows are free and open to the public.
"El Universo Maya" will explore Mayan astronomy and culture and is produced by the Chabot Space and Science Center.
