Art & Astronomy at Fleet Science Center!
On Thursday, October 26, we premiered “A New Stellar Order” to a sold-out crowd in the Lecture Hall at Fleet Science Center. Prior to the show, our resident photographic artist Shawn Michael took portraits, including this one of Team TAO. The rest will be posted on our Facebook page.
Fleet Astronomer Dr. Lisa Will wowed the crowd with her informative and entertaining insights about the universe before the film began. Afterwards, Executive Producer Barbarella Fokos, film subject and artist Melissa Walter, and Dr. Lisa Will fielded questions from the audience.
