Star Stories with Ian lauer Trailer

Every culture in human history looked up at the same sky, and told stories about what they saw. Stories about Gods and Monsters, love and betrayal. Sacrifice and revenge.But those stories were more than entertainment.Encoded in them were things like calendars, star maps, even survival guides.Knowledge so important that the only way to protect it was to embed it inside a story.These are some of the greatest stories ever told. And they were written…in the stars.I'm Ian Lauer, and I've spent my career studying the night sky. First through astrophysics, and now as a storyteller.And this is Star Stories.Each episode, I’ll immerse you in one of these ancient myths.We’ll sit together under the stars and I’ll tell you a story: Unfiltered, the way it was meant to be heard…including all the gory, and sometimes ridiculous details.And at the end, we’ll uncover the science and knowledge these stories were intended to pass on.Star Stories by Ian Lauer.
