Does your favorite star have an Arabic name? Join cultural astronomer Dr. Danielle Adams as she showcases the importance of dark skies to the development of the rich cultural traditions of indigenous Arabian astronomy. Drawing from 6th–10th century CE Arabic texts, she will demonstrate how dark desert skies enabled faint stars near the limits of naked-eye visibility to take prominent roles in the formation of indigenous Arabian star groupings and the stories that gave brighter stars their names.
