Film Viewing: “Listen to the Universe”
June 21 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
To honor the 25th anniversary of the Chandra X-ray Observatory’s mission, NASA senior communications specialist and DCSWA Board member Liz Landau will present her new film, “Listen to the Universe” at a special showing on Friday, June 21, from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. EDT at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Independence Ave. SW and 7th St SW, Washington, D.C. (a 4-minute walk from L’Enfant Plaza metro station).
The 27-minute film takes viewers behind the scenes with the team that creates “sonifications,” translations of Chandra’s data into sound, and shows how meaningful they are to people who are blind or have low vision. Liz and Chandra astronomer Dr. Kimberly Arcand will answer questions after the showing.
There is no fee for the viewing, but registration is strongly recommended for a ticket to ensure your seat.
