SEEING IN THE DARK
June 26, 7:00-8:00pm

30 Venture Way, Bangor





"The awe-inspiring sight of a
sky full of stars can render us
speechless
"
-Timothy Ferris


View "Seeing in the Dark", a 60-minute, state-of-the-art, high-definition PBS star-gazing documentary by Timothy Ferris. According to PBS "the film introduces viewers to hands-on astronomy from kids learning the constellations to amateur astronomers doing professional-grade research in discovering planets and exploding stars. The film features memorable deep-space images by some of the world's most respected astrophotographers and original music by Mark Knopfler and Guy Fletcher of Dire Straits fame."


8:00pm
After the film, all are welcome to make star-gazing wheels and learn about the
five
circum-polar constellations.

8:45pm For those who would like to stay past sunset, star viewing will take place
following the program.
