The 2008 Festival of Science starts in Flagstaff next Friday night, so we're going to visit each day of the festival daily until it starts. Just a heads up so you'll know what's happening when. We talked a bit about the Festival on August 12, 2008.
Friday, September 26, 2008
At 7:00 p.m., in the NAU Ardrey Auditorium, the Festival kicks off with the Zoom into Science Ballet, followed by the Shoemaker Keynote Lecture and science author Richard Preston. From a personal point of view, I can't think of a more appropriate speaker since he introduced me to Gene Shoemaker in his book First Light: The Search for the Edge of the Universe about the Hale Telescope.
At 7:30-10:00 p.m., the NAU Campus Observatory will open its doors with Zoom into Planets, Star, Nebulae & Galaxies and its new 20-inch telescope. Don't worry if you can't make it to the observatory Friday night, you'll have the opportunity again later in the week.
Tomorrow, we'll take a look at Day 2 of the Festival.
