Public Astronomy, Los Angeles Style (Book)
Griffith Observatory is the most visible agent of public astronomy in Los Angeles, but it wasn’t the first. Six experts detail this uniquely southern California story from street-corner telescopes to a street-legal Zeiss refractor mounted on the roof of a 1932 Ford.
Signs of Life (Official Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Featuring original music by Dan Radlauer, Alan Ett, and Scott Liggett, Signs of Life (Official Motion Picture Soundtrack) is available on Amazon and Apple Music. The music is an essential part of every live performance of Signs of Life in the Samuel Oschin Planetarium.
