We are ready to distribute the Timothy Ferris Citizen Sky 6-minute planetarium trailer to theaters interested in showing it. Click for more information.

Click here for background information on the show and to view it via YouTube. But remember that YouTube's small screen doesn't do it justice. The Cal Academies rendered a beautiful show that excels on the big screen.

Versions of the planetarium show have been sent to all of the major planetarium manufacturers and content distributors. You should be able to contact your vendor of choice for a copy. They should be free to use.

Please contact us if you plan to show the video!! It will help us greatly if we can give the National Science Foundation a  report of how many theaters are showing the video! Just e-mail info@citizensky.org or use this feedback form.Read more

We are excited to announce the debut of a 7-minute Citizen Sky planetarium show narrated by Timothy Ferris. Please help us share the word and distribute this video far and wide!

In August 2009 Citizen Sky held a workshop in Chicago on epsilon Aurigae and observing.  Most of the talks during this workshop were videotaped.  The first set of videos are now online along with their corresponding presentation files.  If you missed the workshop or if you would like to revisit your favorite talk, check it out.  More videos are on the way, so stay tuned!

The first video from the Chicago Workshop has been posted to the forums. It's a talk about supergiant stars by Dr. Doug Welch. Consider this a sample of much more video coming soon.

We created a silly 6 minute video that describes epsilon Aurigae and the Citizen Sky project using diagrams made from Lite Brite pegs. Check it out and feel free to repost to other forums!Read more

It has been a while, so I thought I’d update everyone on a few components of the Citizen Sky Project.

The website continues to grow with more and more content and features being added.  Very shortly you will be able to submit and view your own data via the Citizen Sky website (under the “Data” menu.)  After that our wonderful web developer, Kate, will start to work on activating the team section of the site.  Go read the overview if you haven’t heard about the Citizen Sky Team concept!Read more
