An afternoon or evening at the movies appears to be the programming theme at the University of Wyoming Harry C. Vaughan Planetarium during September.

"We're going to be highlighting more of our films this month. Each show will be approximately an hour in length with the live presentation that accompanies it," says Max Gilbraith, the planetarium's coordinator. "On Saturday, Sept. 11, we'll be hoping to open up the rooftop observatory for the community for free and, weather permitting, observe the actual night sky, planets and the moon."

A film and special live talk for audiences will be featured each week.
