It's Subaru and StoneHenge wrapped into a package produced and directed by Judi James at Brazosport, Texas Planetarium! February's tuesday night shows will be special.
Subaru is the new incredible Japanese telescope in Hawaii that is making waves. StoneHenge is the incredibly old observatory in merry olde England.
Both of these instruments are huge, ripe with spirit and star power.
I won't reveal anymore of the story. It's just amazing. Judi and Diana Klebenow's combined artistic / scientific brainpower overflowed in the planning meeting last night. As they synthesized plans, sparkles literally flew across the high dome. (Was it asteroids from the projectors or something even more galactic from the creative thought vibrations?) It's invigorating to witness the human mind working on grand, inspiring, educational, entertaining productions. Awesome! This seemingly well-anchored planetarium is on the move at the Center for the Arts and Sciences.
For the show, Diana will play ancient, celtic and beautiful flute pieces for StoneHenge and I will create synchronize contemporary and technological pieces for Subaru.
SHOW DATES: February 2006, 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th.
FROM WIKIPEDIA: Subaru Telescope (In Japanese: すばる望遠鏡) is the 8.3 meter flagship telescope of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan. It is named for the open star cluster known in English as the Pleiades. It is located on top of Mauna Kea in Hawaii.

FROM WIKIPEDIA: • Near the town of Avebury in Wiltshire, England. Stonehenge is perhaps the finest of the British megalithic monuments. It stands in the center of Salisbury Plain, surrounded by a complex of cemeteries and ritual sites. Stonehenge is believed to date to about 2780 BC, near the end of the Neolithic period. The function of the monument is thought to have been spiritual, but the arrangement of the megaliths also suggest possible astronomical uses, such as a calendar.
