NEWGRANGE - A JOURNEY IN STELLARIUM
As part of on-going research by the National Monuments Service and the Office of Public Works at the Brú na Bóinne UNESCO World Heritage Property, Archaeoastonomer Dr Frank Prendergast was commissioned to produce a new customised landscape model showing the sky from Newgrange. This model can be installed in Stellarium, a free software programme that allows anyone to use their home computer as a virtual planetarium. Once the model is installed users can visit the Boyne Valley virtually and recreate the sky above the Great Mound of Newgrange at any time day or night - on any date of interest - be it 2021 AD or 2000 BC.
For more on Newgrange Skyscape in Stellarium please see: arrow.tudublin.ie/arastart/12/
Please note this programme is not suitable for use on a mobile phone.

Amazing! Thank you for this post🙏
Don't forget to set date in Stellarium to closer to January 13 for Winter Solstice circa 3200 BC (due to calendrical drift).
Wonderful stuff! Thank you so much for sharing with us your brilliant knowledge and wisdom!👍☘☘☘
