SOHO: A Night at the IMAX Theater

Heliograph of Australia have offered us a free screening of rushes of a new IMAX film that includes the EIT He II 304 Å time lapse movie (23 hours of real time at 6 minute cadence, or ~ 35 s of IMAX time) as well as some auroral footage filmed with an IMAX camera.

The screening will be at the Maryland Science Center IMAX theater, 601 Light Street, in Baltimore's Inner Harbor at 5:00 PM, Tuesday, 1997 December 2, SOHO's 2nd birthday.

The small reception being offered by the producers and the Science Center is too small to accommodate more than the ESA and NASA brass, so let's all go to Harborplace after the screening and celebrate two years of SOHO!

Where it is

The "parking lot" is actually a two-story garage on Key, near the Rusty Scupper restaurant (or so the Theater director tells me). It's about a five-minute walk from the Science Center.

How to get there

If you're motoring, ....

Directions are from the Greenbelt Road (MD 193) entrance to the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.
