Title: PERSPECTIVES ON DISTANCE
Presenter: Charles E. Allen III - Vice-President, Astronomical League

“Perspectives” examines the relative and possible distances achievable by space flight and through amateur and professional telescopic observation. Examining scales from the human altitude record to the four cosmological horizons, the program is supported by multiple props and models and discusses astrophysicists’ answers to the biggest questions about the universe: How far can we see and how big might it be?

Unrelated to the program will be the safe display of an extraordinary 9-case collection verifiably containing 100 chemical elements.
