Fox News 28 Video & Story “Local events planned for once in a lifetime celestial occurrence”

Fox News came to Jordan Hall of Science on Sunday (June 3rd) to get the story on the transit of Venus activities. Both Colin McClelland (6th year ND Astrophysics PhD student) & Chuck Bueter were interviewed for the details!
I’m in the shot for approximately 4 seconds as Colin Littlefield, Colin McClelland, and I were aligning the telescope to the Sun.

THE TRANSIT OF VENUS IS TOMORROW!

If you missed the spectacular musical/digital concert in the DVT at Notre Dame last week, I can honestly say that it was a unique and overwhelmingly enjoyable experience.
Axiom Brass (If you have ears, you should experience their music) performed in collaboration with Keith Davis in the DVT for a musical event which was accompanied by digital astronomical pieces also performed live on the dome of the DVT.

While Axiom Brass performed pieces named after the great astronomers (Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Hubble, & Hawking), Keith would display different astronomically related imagery, such as galaxies, the planetary orbits, and asteroids, on the dome that were created to go along with the music.  It was a beautiful experience and the visuals were a hauntingly impressive connection to the movements in the music.

They were great guys, both musically and in person.  I hope we get to have them back again before the next transit of Venus.

TRANSIT OF VENUS IS IN 2 DAYS!
