Kirsten Banks Biography

Kirsten Banks is one of the most popular and richest Astrophysicist who was born on May 22, 1997 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

I was flabbergasted – this could be evidence of our people knowing that Earth is a planet along with the others in our night skies … a millennia before the likes of Galileo, who discovered this a mere 400 years ago!

While training at Sydney Observatory, Banks started to hear about Kamilaroi and Boorong astronomy, prompting her to learn more about her Indigenous Australian heritage. Through this she discovered her ancestry, the Wiradjuri people. Banks then began researching more about Indigenous astronomy, learning about celestial emus that indicate when eggs are available. Learning about the Emu in the Sky constellation inspired Banks to share Aboriginal astronomy with others. While exploring bushland, Banks came across rock carvings that she says “appeared to show seven planets, plus the moon, all in a line.” Banks wrote that as there would have been no light pollution at the time of the carvings’ creation, there would have been the ability to see six planets in the night sky with the naked eye – Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. Banks wrote, “I kept looking and thinking, and I realised that there was one planet missing”. As Neptune is not physically visible to the human eye, Banks realised that the eighth circle may be the Earth.
