However, Marvin the Paranoid Android has seen it all and thinks it's all pretty trashy. jb

Forgive a bit of shameless promotion here, but if you folks think that "strange new worlds" are fun to learn about, you'll be interested in the new star show we're producing, "Extreme Planets." It's co-written by Ray Villard of the Hubble Space Telescope Science Institute and our own Mike Murray, Clark Planetarium's Programs Director. Narration is by Rene Auborjonois (he currently plays the role of Paul Lewiston on "Boston Legal", and was Odo on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine"). The program features descriptions of real and hypothetical extrasolar planets, and the visuals I've previewed thus far are amazing. The show opens here on July 20th.
