This collection of three short films made for the One Sky Project features Greek, Indian and Japanese perspectives of astronomy, history and mythology and how different cultures looking up into the night sky see different stories in the stars and new ways to study them.
The Forge of Artemis: In ancient Greece, Orion was a mighty but not particularly popular hunter, but his constellation shines brightly a familiar shape to people around the world. Why did the goddess Artemis immortalize him in the sky?
The Samurai and the Stars: For many, the stars offer solace and comfort. For our Japanese narrator, images in the sky even the colors of the stars bring back memories of music, history, and childhood.
Jai Singh s Dream: Amid the political chaos of 18th-century India, a great ruler brought the order of the skies down to earth. His giant instruments allowed for precise measurements of stars, planets, and the passage of time and his observatories still stand today!
