     Michener Center alumna Carrie Fountain, Senior Lecturer and Research Associate Mary Kay Hemenway of the Astronomy Department, and McDonald Observatory Director David Lambert read poetry related to the heavens and night skies. Refreshments will be served at this free event. This program complements the Ransom Center's exhibition Other Worlds: Rare Astronomical Works, which runs through January 3. Discover “other worlds” and the changing notions of the solar system, the moon, and the planets over the centuries. In conjunction with the International Year of Astronomy in 2009, this exhibition, drawn from the Center’s collections, showcases important astronomical discoveries of the last 500 years.
