We have arranged for a series of Sci-Fi films to be shown at the Alamo with attendant expert analysis by TTU faculty. Experts in the subject matter will explore the real science the movie brings up, without Ruining The Movie (unless the movie really has it coming). This month, on February 15th, the movie is Carl Sagan's "Contact" starring Jodie Foster. Dr. Tom Maccarone of the Physics Department will open the movie by showing you how radio astronomy is done, what cardinal sins the movie astronomers commit in the interest of drama, what signals from space that look artificial have turned out to be, and how likely it is that we might one day really make "contact".
