The 2015 documentary "Star Men" will be shown Wednesday, Sept. 28, at 8 p.m. in Caltech's Beckman Auditorium (Building 91 on this map). Four of the world's leading astronomers celebrated 50 years of friendship and exploration during a reunion road trip through the American Southwest. Along the way they chatted about astronomy, the unimaginably vast reaches of the universe, life on other planets and our own, and more. The four began their friendship as British students at Caltech. See more info about the screening here.
If Caltech had a founding father, it was astronomer George Ellery Hale, who also was a guiding force behind the Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens. "George Ellery Hale's Vision of the Humane Scientist: Has It Survived?" is the title of a talk that will be presented by John Sutherland, University College London professor emeritus, Thursday, Sept. 29, at 5 p.m. in Caltech's Baxter Hall (Building 77 on this map).

You do not have to be a member of the Pasadena Senior Center to attend.
