Sun Dagger Explorer at the Roundhouse, February 15, 2010, 9am to 3pm
As part of New Mexico Culture Day, the Solstice Project's Sun Dagger Explorer model was on view at NM State Capitol Building (The Round House) between 9 am and 3pm Monday Feb 15. This interactive model allows you to experience and view all the solar and lunar markings of the Sun Dagger site in replication of its natural setting. We are pleased that Chaco's astronomy has been so significantly honored.
To celebrate New Mexico Culture Day, museums and cultural institutions across the state set up displays on the East and West sides of the Roundhouse. The Natural History Museum installation of the Sun Dagger Explorer was just west of the Rotunda.
