The Dawn of Creation: The First 2 Billion Years (mirrored)
(I personally don't think this is the best title for this talk, but it's still worth listening to!) Much thanks to UC Berkeley for making this talk (and HUNDREDS of others) freely available at: http://webcast.berkeley.edu "the default license attached to media recordings for disctribution is Creative Commons - non-commercial, attribution, no derivatives" here is the license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/ The beauty of the universe, the galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and most of the stars, got its start in the first billion years after the beginning of time, the Big Bang. Every deep picture of the sky reveals thousands of these galaxies, each made up of billions of stars like the Sun. The intricate spiral structures of the Milky Way as well as the very smooth distributions of the larger elliptical galaxies took shape slowly, building up from many pieces in the detritus of the initial explosion governed by the dark matter that we can sense but still not see. Modern technical wonders like the Hubble Space Telescope have made it possible to look back to a time when the universe looked very different than it does today, when the first galaxies were created and the universe developed structure seen as patterns in the galaxies apparent today. This years Sackler Lecture will look back to the first 2 billion years. With Steven Beckwith.

INVADERS FROM MARS 1953 SCI-FI TRAILER
Theatrical trailer for the 1953 William Cameron Menzies-directed science-fiction classic, INVADERS FROM MARS. This gem of a little film from indie producer, Edward Alperson, told the story of a a young boy (Jimmy Hunt), sole witness the a UFO landing in a field near his house, who soon realizes the craft's alien inhabitants are taking over the bodies of many in his community, including his mother (Hikllary Brooke) and father (Lief Ericson). Menzies -- an Oscar winning Art Director -- managed to squeeze the nost out the the film's thrifty budget, creating a nightmarish, claustrophobic feel by shooting almost the entire film on interior sets, substituting light, shadow and color for space and realism adding to the otherworldly, dream-like qualities of the film.
