A Sidewalk Astronomer: A Film about Astronomy, Cosmology, and John Dobson
Introduction and Q&A by film producer Jeffrey Fox Jacobs
Join us as we present a remarkable film about a remarkable man.
John Dobson is arguably the most influential person in amateur astronomy in the last 30 years. He has almost single-handedly revolutionized amateur astronomy by making deep space accessible to millions. òÀÜPossessing a quicksilver wit, a gift for turning a phrase that makes scientific concepts accessible, and an energy that belies his nearly 90 cycles around the Sun, Mr. Dobson is one of historyòÀÙs greatest popularizers of science,òÀÝ according to the Wall Street Journal.
To commemorate the passing of John Dobson in January of 2014, the AAA is honored to present this film.
