SUMMARY:Europe to the Stars
DESCRIPTION:Europe to the Stars takes the viewer on an epic journey behind the scenes at the most productive ground-based observatory in the world\, revealing the science\, the history\, the technology and the people. \nDiscover the European Southern Observatory in a story of cosmic curiosity\, courage and perseverance; a story of observing a Universe of deep mysteries and hidden secrets; and a story of designing\, building and operating the most powerful ground-based telescopes on the planet. \nThe movie focuses on the essential aspects of an astronomical observatory\, while offering a broader view of how astronomy is done. From site-testing to locate the best places in the world for observing the sky\, to how telescopes are built and what mysteries of the Universe astronomers are revealing. \nAdmission\nThere is no charge for our public programs\, although donations of $1-$2 per attendee will be greatly appreciated to allow us to continue these public programs for our community. \nParking\nParking is free on campus for our guests only on Saturdays and Sundays. From Monday-Friday\, the UWSP parking lots are enforced 2 am – 7 pm. Please visit this website for more details about parking options\, rules\, and regulations. \n \n \n  \nGET INVOLVED! \nThe Blocher Planetarium is a treasure of the Stevens Point community\, offering shows to students young and old alike. This space has inspired countless students to go onto careers in astronomy and sparked the imagination of young children on field trips as they ask questions about the universe and their place in it. Help “Rebuild the Wonder” and join this effort to keep future generations gazing up at the stars. Learn More!

SUMMARY:The Hot and Energetic Universe
DESCRIPTION:The planetarium documentary “The Hot and Energetic Universe” presents with the use of Immersive Visualizations and real images the achievements of the modern astronomy\, the most advanced terrestrial and orbital observatories\, the basic principles electromagnetic radiation and the natural phenomena related to the High Energy Astrophysics.  This full dome film immerses viewers in real life imagery and visualizations of gaseous reactions within supernova remnants\, galaxy clusters\, neutron stars and supermassive black holes. Observe the perpetual reactions and processes within the depths of the cosmos\, helping shape our understanding of the universe. \nHigh Energy Astrophysics plays a key role in understanding the universe. These radiations reveal the processes in the hot and violent universe. \n*Recommended for all audiences \nAdmission\nThere is no charge for our public programs\, although donations of $1-$2 per attendee will be greatly appreciated to allow us to continue these public programs for our community. \nParking\nParking is free on campus for our guests only on Saturdays and Sundays. From Monday-Friday\, the UWSP parking lots are enforced 2 am – 7 pm.

SUMMARY:Badger Talks: How Can We Find Other Life in the Universe?
DESCRIPTION:Are we alone in the universe? This question has been asked for over two thousand years\, and we now possess the tools and techniques necessary to answer it. Assistant Professor Thomas Beatty of the University of Wisconsin Madison Department of Astronomy will discuss what we want to look for on other planets to see if there is life and how we have started this search at UW using current and future telescopes.\n\nLOCATION: Haeni Chemistry Biology Building\, 105\nTIME: 6 p.m.\nDATE: Friday\, Oct. 24\n\nBeatty grew up sailing off the coast of New England. He has a Bachelor’s degree from Harvard University\, a Master’s in physics from MIT\, and a PhD in astronomy from Ohio State University. Before moving to UW\, he worked as an instrument scientist on the James Webb Space Telescope\, where he helped build one of Webb’s cameras and helped to operate it once Webb reached space. His research focuses on measuring the atmospheres of exoplanets – planets around other stars – to figure out what they are made out of and what their climates are like\, to understand how planets form\, and search for life elsewhere in the universe. He has also discovered nine new exoplanets\, none of which he got to name after himself.
