NASA's Kepler telescope, whose mission is to detect Earth-sized planets in Earth-like orbits around Sun-like stars in other solar systems, recently removed the dust cover over its CCD camera. Go here for a movie of how this is done. Enjoy!

Free Astronomy movie Tomorrow!!!!
Tomorrow night, as part of the Imagine Science Film Festival going on in NYC (look at the calendar for events), will be the NY premiere of the new documentary "BLAST!", directed by Paul Devlin, on the launch of the Balloon-borne, Large Aperture, Sub-millimeter Telescope (BLAST!) from Antarctica to study the cosmic microwave background (CMB). It sounds likes a great movie. For more information on the showing, which is tomorrow night (Oct. 23rd) at 7:30 PM at Baisley Powell Elebash Recital Hall in the CUNY Graduate Graduate Center (365 5th Ave at 34th Street), go here. For more information on this movie, check out their website. And for more information on the CMB, listen to my interviews with Dr. Daniel Babich and Dr. Gary Hinshaw. Enjoy!
