The unveiling is a special treat during this year's seminar, an annual event for area science and math teachers to reward their outstanding students in grades 3-12. Over 300 participants will attend the event, one of several at Grand Valley throughout this year to celebrate the World Year of Physics 2005.
Fred Antczak, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, will unveil the images at 6:45 p.m., in the Louis Armstrong Theatre. Then actor and educator Michael T. Francis, dressed in 17th century costume, will portray Galileo. His entertaining and informative program will link Galileo's discoveries with his newly created telescope and today's most technologically advanced optical telescope, the Hubble.
The event is sponsored by Smiths Aerospace and the Regional Math & Science Center at Grand Valley. The public is welcome, though space is limited and reservations are required. For more information call (616) 331-2267.
Additional opportunities for public viewing will be available during Super Science Saturday in October, Fall Science Update in November, and once the images are permanently mounted in Padnos Hall in December.
