We really ♥️ this piece from John Hawks on humans looking at the stars, especially how he picks up African #huntergatherer cosmologies on the link of the #Moon to #Menstruation 🩸

Right now I'm involved in one of the MOST important papers of my life with Hadza hunter-gatherer experts on Hadza beliefs and practice around menstruation, hunting and the moon.

The key here is no one understands Hadza #Epeme--their moon-scheduled ritual for healing and good hunting--unless they also understand menstrual beliefs and practice.

@ehtelescope ☝️ Event Horizon Telescope, the global network of telescopes which captured the first image of a supermassive black hole (yes, that one), studies extreme phenomena of the universe and is working on new discoveries. And they have just landed on the fediverse with an official account.
