Free Virtual Screening of Small Town Universe September 4th at 7:30 pm EST!
Please join us for a free screening of the feature-length, award winning film Small Town Universe on Thursday, September 4th at 7:30 pm EST!
This growing community, Get Organized for the Green Bank Observatory (GO! GBO), has come together to support the GBO as a result of the threat from the 2026 fiscal year proposed budget to significantly cut the GBO’s funding and further, its recommendation for decommissioning and disposition of the facility. The GBO is a vital part of West Virginia, providing over 100 jobs in a very rural setting, contributing approx. $30 million to WV’s economy, making groundbreaking discoveries with its state-of-the-art Green Bank Telescope and other equipment on site, and providing a STEM career pipeline by inspiring our next generation of researchers, innovators, and leaders with its unique and world-renowned education programs – something we can’t and don’t want to lose.
We have partnered with Emmy nominated Director Katie Dellamaggiore and Rescued Media to help grow the awareness and support for the GBO through many efforts – including this free virtual screening. We are so grateful to Katie and Rescued Media for their generous sponsorship of this event!
Following the screening, there will be a short panel where you can ask questions about the film with Director Katie Dellamaggiore, film subjects, and special guests, and we will be sharing information about the community efforts to support the GBO as well.
