The Hunt For Planet B, the story about the building of the world’s most powerful telescope will screen at the Collider in Asheville on Saturday, October 1, at 2:00 pm.
Admission is free. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is 100 times more powerful than the Hubble Space telescope allowing scientists for the first time to see the very first stars and galaxies in the universe 13 billion light years into outer space.
The screening is sponsored by the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation (ASRC Federal) in collaboration with the Asheville Museum of Science and CASE Consultants International, a climate sustainability and solutions company.
ASRC Federal was instrumental in the construction of the James Webb Space Telescope. Prior to the film’s screening ASRC Federal JWST Photographer Chris Gunn and ASRC Federal JWST Outreach Lead Peter Sooy will relate personal stories and answer questions.
Registration for the screening is available online at Simpletix.
