This Wednesday, August 8th, at 7:30p, the summer movie series at West Of Lenin concludes with an amazing anthology of astronomical short films by Jose Francisco Salgado. With the landing of the NASA rover ‘Curiosity’ on Mars, today, and the Perseids meteor shower expected on August 11th, why not celebrate at this one-night only screening? It costs only $5 per person (21+ only) with popcorn only $2 more!
An astronomer and visual artist at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, Salgado uses his considerable skills in astronomy, education and the arts to create multimedia works that communicate science in engaging ways.
