From all corners of the world, people are blasting MJ tunes, inspired and moved by his music. When you think about it, what else unifies people like music? What else makes such a profound impact on the way we think and feel? Tonight's "Nova: Musical Minds" explores music's ability to heal the body and mind. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/505/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/505/rss Tue, 30 Jun 09 09:17:00 -0700 More than 250 people attended our "400 Years of the Telescope" preview screening and stargazing party at Fiske Planetarium in Boulder.

What a great coincidence, that two of the most important and controversial figures of the 19th century were born on the same day! If you were given the chance to spend time with one of these two historical figures, who would you choose and why? What would you ask them? http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/399/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/399/rss Tue, 10 Feb 09 08:49:00 -0700 Tonight at 7, "NOVA" takes us on the incredible 2,000-mile journey of the monarch butterfly from Canada to its winter home in Mexico.

Tonight at 9, we bring you a closer look at this historic journey. From talking to people who lived through that era, I know how significant the Apollo missions were for the advancement of science & society. Is space exploration as important today as it was then? http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/371/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/371/rss Tue, 23 Dec 08 06:48:00 -0700 Close your eyes and picture an alien.
