The Westminster College Planetarium presents "The Dawn of Astronomy" April 7, 8, 14, and 15 at 6 p.m. and April 9 at 3 p.m. in Hoyt Science Resources Center room 116.

"Have you ever longed to see the majesty of the Pyramids of Egypt," asked Dr. Samuel Lightner, chair and professor of physics at Westminster College.  "Have you ever dreamed of standing on a misty plain in England surrounded by the monument that is Stonehenge?  Now you can see both of these wonders of the ancient world and learn why they might have been built without ever leaving New Wilmington.  Come and see this beautiful multi-media program, which will transport you back in time."

The show is free and open to the public, but reservations are required due to limited seating.  To make reservations, call the Westminster College Department of Physics at (724) 946-7200.
