Saving Hubble, a new independent documentary film examining NASA’s decision in 2004 to cancel the famed Hubble Space Telescope, will screen Friday, Oct. 19, at 7 pm at the Main Library. As an added bonus, if the skies are clear tonight, stargazing and director Q&A will be held from 8:15 to 9:00 pm.

The film introduces its audiences to the people who united to save Hubble, the story of ordinary people finding a voice, and a love letter to the machine that stands as humanity’s ambassador to the expanding universe.
