Happy Birthday Edwin Hubble.

Hubble was able to clarify something that had boggled astronomer’s minds for decades. The brilliant cluster of stars in the center of this image were long thought to be one, massive star with a mass somewhere between 200 and 300 times that of our own Sun. The clarity of Hubble’s imagery, however, enabled astronomers to determine that what had once appeared to be a single star was actually a cluster of several (still enormous) stars.

My friend Pao (part of the production of Tundong Magiliw)  along with our other friends are opening this new space along Anonas which celebrates cinema and provides us a venue for film screenings and art exhibits. (The new Mogwai Cinematheque, hopefully.) So do come by if you are free and bring along a friend or go alone and we shall find a corner and be together in our awkwardness. Spread the word and support local cinema!
