Tonight: Take a hike through the solar system

Ward_YoheTonight NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Solar System Ambassador,Ward Yohe will be presenting an hour-long talk about the solar system at McCloud’s Grill House off Sheridan in Bremerton. He works with all ages from elementary students to adult groups, keeping things interesting and funny.

The presentation will cover information about human and robotic exploration up through present day. These presentations are great for school age kids and their families interested in science and the universe. Also perfect for adults like me who have forgotten everything they learned in science class regarding solar systems, planets and exploration (and whatever else I have managed to forget).

The event is free and sponsored by the East Bremerton Rotary. You can find the link to the event on Facebook here.

And the link to learn more about local Ward Yohe here.

Real Deal Movies

I often receive late submissions to the calendar that, despite their tardiness, are still worth noting for public interest. Sustainable Cinema’s monthly documentary viewings frequently fall into both categories.

This month Kitsap County’s Sustainable Cinema will be showing “Plastic Paradise: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch.” The film follows a brief history of plastics in the United States, as well as the lasting effects of plastics today. It works throughout to make the case that the solution will be source control.

The show is Thursday (April 23) at 6:30 p.m. at the Dragonfly Cinema on Bay Street in Port Orchard; this will be followed by discussion.

While on the subject of documentaries, Free Range Films’ last film for this season will be showing at Ground Zero Center in Poulsbo at 3 p.m. on Sunday, May 3.

The documentary scheduled is “The Wisdom to Survive.” The film will cover the consensus of scientists that climate change has already arrived and asks what actions society can take going forward.

Both films are free, but donations are welcome.
