"Inca Constellations" Cylinder for Portable Planetariums
 
More Important Topics of Inca Constellations Cylinder

Portable Planetariums Home Company is proud introducing the Inca Constellations Cylinder. If well this cylinder does not include all the Inca Constellations that could have existed, it has the principal ones. The most important feature of Inca Astronomy was the study of the Milk Way and the "black clouds"( interstellar dark dust) . Almost the Andean Constellations are configured with such dark regions. There are not at the moment Inca Constellations Maps. We believe it is a good contribution to the Andean Culture. Our Maya, Inca and Nazca Constellations Cylinders are a very good starting point to study the Astronomy in these Pre Columbian Cultures. Of course, we accept all the additional contributions and corrections that could happen to this first version. (write to: alejandro@planetarios.com).
