Two Small Pieces of Glass: The Amazing Telescope

Two students at a star party learn about the uses, history and discoveries that the telescope has made for humankind. This program helps us understand our place in the Universe by showing us the view through our most important observational tool - the telescope. Galileo’s telescopic observations began a revolution, transforming our views of the cosmos and our place within. It is a revolution which, four hundred years later, continues. Today you can attend star parties where amateur astronomers set up their telescopes for public viewing. Views through such telescopes would have amazed Galileo. Two Small Pieces of Glass puts you in the middle of a modern star party. Discover the wonders that even a small amateur telescope can reveal and learn about the scientists that made such views possible. Learn about the discoveries of Galileo, Huygens, Newton, Hubble and many others. Produced by: Imiloa Astronomy Center, Buhl Planetarium, & Interstellar Studios.

Animalopolis

After we look to the night sky to discover that "constellations" of animals abound overhead, ANIMALOPOLIS will take you on a voyage into a magical world of animals. A bit fanciful, a bit "seussian" perhaps, a place of good natured humor, beauty and just plain fun for kids and their parents. Whether going nose to nose with hippos as they graze upon nature's massive salad bar, or eye to eye with dancing bears, sea lions turning somersaults, an otter that prays, we are reminded that nature provides us with humor and wonder, everywhere. ANIMALOPOLIS takes a lighthearted and imaginary look at a variety of animals including cheetahs that race like a Ferrari, bears that run their own fishing school, an operatic lion, scary crabs that hold a town hostage and even attempt to cuddle with children, and much more. ANIMALOPOLIS will provide kids and their adults with a journey of smiles and chuckles. A Graphic Films Production, in Association with Hunan TV & Broadcast, MagicPlay Entertainment.
