An Afternoon of Music, Wine and Cheese, Cherryfield

Aug. 29, Thursday, 11am, Hubble Vision, Hubble Vision combines the splendor of the cosmos, brought into focus by the Hubble Space Telescope, with a spellbinding narrative to take you on a journey through the universe. Using the latest images from the orbiting observatory, we uncover new views of the planets; peek into star birth nurseries; catch visions of star death in its many forms; explore distant star clusters and galaxies; and experience views of the universe when the earliest galaxies were first coming into being.
We catch glimpses of solar system objects, including Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9’s crash into Jupiter. We witness the cataclysmic aftermath of supernovae in the Crab Nebula. We see breathtaking views of colliding galaxies; jets shooting from active galactic nuclei, powered by super massive black holes; the eerie effects of gravitational lenses; and deep-field views of the most distant galaxies ever seen, $3, Maynard F.
