This way everyone...
See the stars and how they live...
Learn who's hot and who's not...
See the recluse, young, and old...
Grab your tour map and climb aboard our AstroTours bus driven by a slightly wacky tour guide...who really knows his stellar evolution!
Our Astrobus guide, Tachyon, drives passengers to nebulae to explain star formation, i.e. star nurseries. Visits to a red dwarf, blue/white giant, red supergiant, and yellow stars include close calls with a stellar flare and a supernova. Your guide calmly explains that star color indicates star temperatures, and how a supernova can create a neutron star or a black hole!
A visit to an average looking yellow star is complete with a surprise discovery...radio signals are detected coming from the third planet in this star's solar system... intelligent life is discovered and passengers reflect that this kind of star is not really average... it is special...it can support life.
Sharon Parker has authored this script to present solid scientific content in left hand-right hand format with all visuals and timings annotated for two levels of production... one level for simply equipped sites...and another level adding pans, all skies, and special effects. The content is supported by 50 wonderful slides, featuring custom, original artwork designed by Dan Hawkins. Superb professional voice talent and an original custom score by award winning composer Jeff Bowen are enhanced by the unique sound effect work of Mark Evans... and all digitally recorded and mastered!
This program is designed for grades 1-6 and for family viewing and has met the approval of a four member review committee. Excellent for classroom use or as preshows, audiences will find the program to be exciting and entertaining while filled with understandable scientific information.
And... Bowen Technovation can provide your soundtrack on CD, ADAT, or DAT!
