Join us Saturday October 20th at Standard Bank Stadium for a look at the life of the Hubble Telescope. Gates open at 6pm. There will be a showing of the documentary movie “Saving Hubble”, introduced by David Gaynes the film’s Director, followed by lively conversation with David and other astronomers. There will also be several telescopes set up for individual stargazing along with the astronomers to assist with the viewing and answer questions.
The Hubble Roadshow is a grassroots, nonprofit, educational tour of Saving Hubble. It is a series of unique public events designed to foster connections to the universe and connections among people. The event pairs a screening of the movie, presented by the film’s director, with special events including live astronomy, stargazing, and conversations with astronomers and writers.
Saving Hubble is an independent documentary film that examines NASA's decision in 2003 to cancel the famed Hubble Space Telescope and introduces us to the people who united to save it. Many films have been made about what Hubble teaches humans about the universe. This is the first time a film about Hubble has asked "What does this machine say about us?" Saving Hubble is the story of ordinary people finding a voice, and a love letter to the machine that stands as humanity's ambassador to the expanding universe.
