Presentation: Stellarium Sky Cultures - an example of transdisciplinary collaboration

Abstract

Stellarium is a free, open-source planetarium software that is available in various independent flavours (desktop, mobile, web...). The applications for the humanities go far beyond the typical applications for amateur and professional astronomers for observation planning: Research results (data) from ethnology, anthropology, philologies/linguistics and the history of science can be contributed here directly by researchers. The presentation will briefly introduce the software and the challenges associated with transdisciplinarity
