The program is returning to the Delta College Planetarium for a special screening and presentation during the Hell’s Half Mile Film & Music Festival Friday, September 26 at 5pm and Saturday, September 27 at 3pm.
Filmmaker Jason Achilles will provide a live presentation about his varied experiences as a composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist who helped NASA design a microphone for the Mars Perseverance rover.
In this multi-dimensional and inspirational show, Jason shares personal experiences with NASA, recordings from the Martian surface, high resolution audio-video of rocket launches and his own soundscapes set to immersive dome video and animation.
“Jason has many talents that come together in a uniquely engaging way,” says Mike Murray, astronomer and planetarium manager. “His passion for sharing experiences through science, immersive visuals and music is truly inspiring. We are honored and thrilled to be a collaborator on this project,” adds Murray.
Please note, the HHM passes do not apply to this show. Visitors will need to purchase tickets either online or in person. Admission is $10 for adults and $7 for children 3-18, seniors, students and military. For more information, visit the planetarium’s website or call 989-667-2260.
