The Bowling Green State University Planetarium is celebrating Hubble Fest 2009 in honor of the famous
space telescope that has provided Earthlings with never-before-seen images from outer space.
Launched in 1990, the telescope seemed a failure until a 1993 mission to correct its lenses enabled it to
revolutionize astronomy by transmitting clear images from our solar system and extending deep into
space.
A series of shows beginning tonight focuses on various aspects of the Hubble.
"First Light," the story of how it began, will be shown at 8 tonight and Friday and at 2 p.m.
Saturday.
"Through the Eyes of Hubble," a tour of the universe with the space telescope, will be shown at
7:30 p.m. Sunday; at 8 p.m. Nov. 10 and 13, and at 2 p.m. Nov. 14.
Discoveries of the space telescope are the subject of "Hubble’s Universe," playing at 7:30 p.m.
Nov. 15; at 8 p.m. Nov. 17 and 20, and at 2 p.m. Nov. 21.
"Hubble Vision," the best of the space telescope, plays at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 22; at 8 p.m. Nov. 24
and Nov. 27, and at 2 p.m. Nov. 28.
All showings are in the planetarium, near Merry Avenue and North College Drive. A $1 donation is
suggested. For more information, call (419) 372-2421.
