Explore the Universe with Professor James Kaler

Let Astronomy Professor James B. Kaler be your guide to the heavens this month in a planetarium show at Parkland College's William M. Staerkel Planetarium.

The program, entitled "The StarGazer", is based on Professor Kaler and his teaching of astronomy. Kaler also co-narrates the show with Nichelle Nichols (Lt. Uhura) of the original "Star Trek". Written and produced by the Great Lakes Planetarium Association and the Minneapolis Planetarium, this presentation gives a personal look into one man's love for astronomy. It also explains the science of gravity, light, and the spectrum and how they help us decipher the life cycles of the stars. "The StarGazer" will be featured on Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm through November 23rd. The show is being distributed internationally through Staerkel Planetarium.
