Description
On any given night around the world, thousands of people peer into deep space because of John Dobson. A 91-year-old with a white ponytail and a knack for comedy, Dobson revolutionized astronomy. A SIDEWALK ASTRONOMER follows Dobson as he tours the country from the sidewalks of San Francisco to colleges, universities, astronomy clubs, star parties and to Stellafane, a convention of telescope makers in Vermont. It features sequences on sidewalk astronomy, telescope making, the moon, sun, major planets, galaxies, Big Bang Theory, and the nature of time and space.
