Top TV Show 'Cosmos' Comes to the Big Screen

The most widely viewed TV series in the history of public television can now be seen on the Big Screen.  Noted astronomer and astrophysicists present the documentary on the second Wednesday of each month followed by commentaries on what's new 'up there' since the series first aired. 

This month we include a short feature 'Life on Another Earth' in 3D!!!  The kids will love it.  We're going to be putting on our 3D glasses and explore the universe!

August's episode, 'The Harmony of the Worlds', tells about man's deep affinity with the stars and how constellations came to be.  It unfolds the creation of astronomy as a science while also showing us the lives of those who were instrumental in its early beginnings. This episode is one of the cornerstones of the series.
