Abstract
Description
Includes descriptive metadata provided by producer in MP3 file: "Astronomers from Vanderbilt and Fisk universities might not be able to take students to the stars, but they can bring the stars to them. With a grant from NASA, the astronomers have created a roadshow for area schools and community centers using a portable, inflatable planetarium with the goal of interesting minority students in science as a career. The public can tour the portable planetarium Saturday, Sept. 25, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Adventure Science Center in Nashville."
