Now Showing "Two Small Pieces of Glass"
While attending a local star party, two teenage students learn how the telescope has helped us understand our place in space and how telescopes continue to expand our understanding of the Universe. Their conversation with a local female astronomer enlightens them on the history of the telescope and the discoveries these wonderful tools have made. The students see how telescopes work and how the largest observatories in the world use these instruments to explore the mysteries of the universe. They look through telescopes and explore the Galilean Moons, Saturn’s rings, and spiral structure of galaxies – sharing this with the planetarium audiences. Along the way they learn about the discoveries of Galileo, Huygens, Newton, Hubble and many others. The astronomer shares the way telescope development has helped us understand our place in space and how telescopes continue to expand our understanding of the Universe. Produced to engage and appeal to audiences of all ages, Two Small Pieces of Glass, traces the history of the telescope from Galileo’s modifications to a child’s spyglass -- using two small pieces of glass -- to the launch of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and the future of astronomy. It explores the wonder and discovery made by astronomers throughout the last 400 years. The soundtrack was recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra. Program is 25 minutes. Planetarium presentations for Two Pieces of Glass program are the second Friday night of each month at 7:00 pm. Admission is $3.00 for adults, $2.00 for children and seniors. Admission to any second or third show is $1.00. |
