For the next few weeks planet Mars (the god of war) will be bigger and brighter in Vancouver's sky than it has been in 15 years, and it won't be this good again till 2035.

To celebrate the return of the Angry Red Planet Roundhouse Productions will present astronomy shows "Mars and Stars live" and "Out There" the search for extra-solar planets, for FREE in the dome at the BCIT Planetarium on Saturday July 21st.

At midnight, when Mars has risen and is well placed for viewing and following the VidLaser Floyd, Gorillaz, and Radiohead shows, free Mars observing will commence through telescopes adjacent to the BCIT Planetarium. Coincidentally the rings of Saturn are tilted at the best and widest in 15 years and will also be observed the same night.
