Arcturus Rising Exhibition
by Jessica Curtis
Art exhibition component of Archurtus Rising Planetarium show, SALA 2025
Featuring visual art used in the video art of the show and inspired by the theme of Archurtus Rising
Archturus is an orange-coloured giant star 36.7 light-years from Earth. The fourth brightness star in the night sky, and the brightest star in the northern constellation Boötes. Located north of the celestial equator, it is visible from both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere and thus has been seen as a star of importance in cultures around the Earth.
Archturus is known as the ‘Bear-Keeper’ guarding Ursa Major, the ‘Keeper of the Heavens’, the ‘Guiding Star’, the ‘Star of Gladness’ Hokule’a in Hawaiian, the ‘Good Shepherd’ in the Middle East or the ‘Guiding Hand’.
It is also believed to be home to the cosmic creators of the famous crop circle phenomena. Crop circles have been captivating the imaginations of humanity since they first began getting global attention in the UK in the 1970’s. They have continued to appear in fields across the world to this day with their mesmerising sacred geometric designs.
