OUR UNIVERSE

Wonderful pictures on display on big screen at the Linda Hall Library, 5109 Cherry--showng the latest discoveries of the Hubble Space Telescope.
This is the International Year of Astronomy--Galileo made use of the newly invented telescope in 1609 to explore the sky. And this is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin. In commemoration of this, Linda Hall just opened a special exhibit entitled the Grandeur of Life. I re-discovered Linda Hall this morning. What an exciting place! And it's all free. Hours are: Mon. 9-8:30, Tu-Fri 9-5, and Sat 10-4. And while there you may want to walk around the beautiful grounds, featuring some 450 trees, 165 different species. You can also view pictures taken from Hubble at hubblesite.org
