Tomorrow night we have a special treat. The Challenger Learning Center has permission to broadcast a big-screen version of Small Town Universe, a documentary about the Green Bank Telescope and its community, on the big screen in the Fogg Planetarium. Attendance is Free and all TAS members, friends, and family are invited.  Below is a brief description of the shown, which Challenger Learning Center has obtainted special permission to stream on its opening night.  I hope you can join usat the Challenger Learning Center's Fogg Planetarium for this special show (note it will be a little after the regularly scheduled TAS Monthly Meeting, so stick around if you come for that meeting first!)

Join NSN for a special screening of Small Town Universe on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, at 5:00 PM Pacific Time (8:00 PM Eastern). Small Town Universe (trailer linked here) paints an intimate portrait of life in Green Bank, West Virginia, home to the world’s most sensitive radio telescope and the only U.S. town where Wi-Fi and cell phones are banned. In this radio-quiet community, scientists search for signs of extraterrestrial life while residents share everyday moments of love, loss, and resilience.
