The Center is pleased to open a new photography exhibit by John Ninnemann, Ancient Skywatchers of the Southwest. A reception will be held at the Center of Southwest Studies Museum/ Gallery on Thursday, February 9th from 4:00-6:00 pm.

The Ancestral Puebloan people on the Colorado Plateau were sky watchers with a sophisticated knowledge of solar and lunar events. This collection of photographs exhibits the sun, moon and shadows in significant alignments occurring only on specific dates. Ninnemann is a photographer, scientist and Fort Lewis College Dean Emeritus.
