Indigenous Astronomy Starwheel

The Starwheel is an immersive experience for teachers and students, combining the authenticity of First Peoples’ voice with non-indigenous science. The Starwheel brings an ancient perspective of the night sky to modern observers, shining a light on the complexity and depth of Indigenous observation, science and creativity. Observers measure distances between stars using the Indigenous measurement of hand spans.

Features include glow-in-the-dark Sky Figures, to aid with night-time observation, and water-resistant card. The Starwheel is sized to fit in a small backpack.
