Solaris

Solaris (1972 film)

 "I only wanted to create a vision of a human encounter with something that certainly exists, in a mighty manner perhaps, but cannot be reduced to human concepts, ideas or images."


- Stanislaw Lem, author of Solaris, discussing the extraordinary physical and psychological "alienness" of the planet Solaris

Karma

"Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others, past and present and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future."

- Sonmi-451, Cloud Atlas

Every day I'm Star Hustlin'

Greetings, greetings, fellow star-gazers!

Some people hustle pool. Some people hustle cars. But have you ever heard about the man who hustles stars?

Meet Jack Horkheimer, Star Hustler, former director of the Planetarium in Miami and host of the public television show Jack Horkheimer: Star Hustler for 36 seasons.

He had a unique way of educating audiences watching in the wee hours of the night about the constellations that could be seen in the night sky, comets that would be traveling past our planet in the coming days, and everything else going on in the Heavens - all the while reminding viewers of our place in the vast expanse that is the Universe.

For those of us who remember watching his marvelous little show on PBS he will be missed.

And remember, as Jack always said, "Keep looking up!"
