I just got back from the premier of a new planetarium show "Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity" at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. I worked on the script of this show. My group at work has grants to do education and public outreach for various astronomical satellites.
We gave seed money to director Tom Lucas to create a NOVA show for PBS about black holes. He used that money to get more money from the National Science Foundation, and he used that to make a planetarium show. Since I dabble in writing, I helped edit the script and check it for scientific accuracy.
It was great fun working on a real planetarium show, especially this one. The graphics are truly amazing. I have never seen anything so cool! A few months ago I flew to Denver to see the show as it was at that time. ...
