How could the Dogon people have known, maybe for thousands of years, about a star that cannot be seen without the aid of a telescope? How could they have known about the path of its orbits and the substance it is made of! That it spins on its axis and makes the big star wobble because of the heavy material Po Tolo is made of. That the little star’s orbit around the big star requires fifty years. No one any longer questions that the Dogon knew these things... but how is this possible?
