Drawing on both the laws of stellar evolution and the latest discoveries of extrasolar planets, Harvard-trained astronomer Dr. Ken Croswell describes the lives of stars and the alien worlds they may support.
The presentation will be family friendly and Dr. Croswell will sign his new book, The Lives of Stars after the presentation. Included with exhibit admission and free for members.

Get your fold on. On Saturday, November 21, 2009 at 3:30 PM Community Cinema Seattle presents the free Seattle premiere of BETWEEN THE FOLDS directed, written and produced by Vanessa Gould at SIFF Cinema. When you look at a piece of paper, what do you see? Blurring the mysterious lines between art, science, sculpture and math, the film is an exhilarating adventure into origami - or paperfolding - featuring works of art whose emotional expressiveness and engineering complexity defy logic. Just as Michelangelo might have seen a statue standing frozen inside a block of marble, the eccentric artists and scientists in BETWEEN THE FOLDS envision the three-dimensional possibilities of paper, and, as if by alchemy, change the mundane into the poetic and magical — all with no scissors, no tape and no glue.
