The Ontario City Main Library will host a new traveling exhibition "Visions of the Universe: Four Centuries of Discovery" at the Main Library, from Jan. 26 through March 27, 2009. 

Visions of the Universe uses dramatic imagery from Galileo's observations to the Hubble Space Telescope and other space missions to show how our understanding of the universe has changed over the last four hundred years.  The exhibition vividly illustrates planets, stars, nebulae and galaxies, and discusses the size and scale of the universe in both space and time.  Visions of the Universe is part of the International Year of Astronomy, a global celebration of astronomy and its contributions to society and culture.

The Ontario City Library was one of 40 sites in the United States, and the only one in California to receive this award.

The exhibition is sponsored by the American Library Association, Chicago, IL (ALA), the Space Telescope Science Institute, Baltimore, MD (STSci), and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Cambridge, MA.  The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) provided funding for this project.

StarLab Stories for Families

By Liset Marquez on December 30, 2008 4:34 PM | | Comments (1)

So I came across this event the Ontario Library is going to hold next Friday, January 9. "StarLab Stories for Families," is an event where the whole family can experience the night skies in a portables planetarium. There will also be a storyteller.

That made me wonder ? What does a portable planetarium look like and who are the storyteller's?

Well the storyteller's are all students who go through a program to learn how to run the portable planetarium, discover astronomy and star gazing, and explore potential career opportunities, including teaching.

 

By the way, I'm still trying to figure out what the portable planetairum looks like.

The event will be Friday, January 9 from 4:45 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. at Ontario's Main Library,

For more information call (909) 395-2014.
