The Wonder of It All
  Jeffrey Roth, U.S., 2007, 83 min.
Wednesday, Nov. 18, 5 p.m., Tivoli 1

“The Wonder of It All” focuses on the rarely told human
side of the men behind the Apollo missions through
thoughtful and candid accounts from seven of the astronauts.
Buzz Aldrin, Alan Bean, Edgar Mitchell, John
Young, Charles Duke, Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt
reflect on the training, the tragedies, the
camaraderie and the effect their space travel has had on
  their families and the world. “These elder statesmen’s
recollections of their brief moments on the moon, as well
  as of what preceded and followed, make for vivid and
emotional storytelling,” says the LA Times. “The
talking-head testimonies are matched by wonderful NASA
archival photos and footage from the various Apollo excursions.”

Shown with the documentary short “Reaching Tranquility”
(Karl Ferron, U.S., 2009, 10 min.), a look back at
the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11 using dramatic
time-lapse footage of the moon.

The Most Violent Places in the Universe (2009 International Year of Astronomy)

Featured Speaker: James H. Buckley, Ph.D., 2004 Outstanding St. Louis Scientist
Innovation Award recipient, Academy of Science – St. Louis; Professor of
Physics in Arts & Sciences, McDonnell Center Faculty Fellow, McDonnell Center
for the Space Sciences, Washington University in St. Louis

Wednesday, November 4; 7:30 – 9 p.m.
Saint Louis Zoo Living World Auditorium
One Government Drive in Forest Park, St. Louis MO 63110

FREE and OPEN to ALL. Middle and high school students welcome.
(Parking free in the Zoo's North lot.)

When one looks at the seemingly unchanging stars in the night sky it is hard to
imagine the violent processes that are at work in corners of our universe
–exploding stars, flaring super massive black holes, and rapidly spinning
stars with the mass of the sun packed into an object smaller than St. Louis.
Astrophysicist and Washington University Physics Professor, Dr. James Buckley,
presents highlights from “high energy astrophysics” – a field of astronomy
that studies some of the most energetic processes in the universe and seeks to
uncover some of the fundamental questions about the formation of galaxies and
the makeup of the universe. Dr. Buckley shares how his field of gamma-ray
astronomy probes these violent processes and may provide a means of detecting
the dark components of our universe, ranging from black holes to the dark
matter. It’s an out-of-this-world talk you won’t want to miss.
