Seeing!
Topic: Biology | Length: 27 minutes | Age: High School
SEEING!, narrated by Neil deGrasse Tyson, tells the tale of a photon’s journey from the core of a star and its journey across the galaxy to a young woman’s eye. It explains the conversion of energy into an electro-chemical impulse which travels the neuro pathways to the various vision centers of the brain to create the images that she sees.
Losing the Dark
Topic: Space | Length: 7 minutes (3 showings of this mini feature count as 1 show.)
Starry skies are a vanishing treasure because light pollution is washing away our view of the cosmos. It not only threatens astronomy, it disrupts wildlife, and affects human health. The yellow glows over cities and towns — seen so clearly from space — are testament to the billions spent in wasted energy from lighting up the sky.
