Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description
Mae Dark Land, Dark Skies yn gwyrdroi seryddiaeth draddodiadol drwy gyflwyno'r defnydd o chwedlau llafar y Mabinogion wrth enwi cytserau a phlanedau. Mae testun difyr y seryddwr Martin Griffiths yn gyfuniad o safbwynt newydd am chwedloniaeth Gymreig ynghyd â chanllaw seryddiaeth.
Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description
Dark Land, Dark Skies subverts conventional astronomy by repopulating the night sky with myths from oral traditions which were overtaken by the classical naming of constellations and planets as astronomy developed in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Astronomer Martin Griffiths includes star charts and other helpful materials for star-gazing.
