Jellies: The Ocean in Motion

IMAX movie "Hubble"
Built in part in Danbury, it’s been circling the earth – and advancing our understanding of the universe – for nearly 20 years. Now, the Hubble Space Telescope has returned to Fairfield County and shares its celestial wonders in the IMAX movie “Hubble” at The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk.
“Hubble” takes audiences through distant galaxies at 11 a.m. and 1 & 3 p.m. daily through June 24 on the Aquarium’s six-story screen – the largest in Connecticut.
“With its ability to look deep into space with great clarity, the Hubble Space Telescope has had a profound impact on the way we view the universe and ourselves,” said Chris Loynd, the Aquarium’s marketing director. “It’s only fitting that some of Hubble’s discoveries be shared in a format that also is unmatched in its size and clarity: on IMAX film.”
“Hubble” was filmed by NASA astronauts aboard the space shuttle Atlantis in May 2009. Through the power of the immersive IMAX format, audiences will almost feel the weightlessness of space, but also the weigh…

Built in part in Danbury, it’s been circling the earth – and advancing our understanding of the universe – for nearly 20 years. Now, the Hubble Space Telescope has returned to Fairfield County and shares its celestial wonders in the IMAX movie “Hubble” at The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk.
“Hubble” takes audiences through distant galaxies at 11 a.m. and 1 & 3 p.m. daily through June 24 on the Aquarium’s six-story screen – the largest in Connecticut.
“With its ability to look deep into space with great clarity, the Hubble Space Telescope has had a profound impact on the way we view the universe and ourselves,” said Chris Loynd, the Aquarium’s marketing director. “It’s only fitting that some of Hubble’s discoveries be shared in a format that also is unmatched in its size and clarity: on IMAX film.”
“Hubble” was filmed by NASA astronauts aboard the space shuttle Atlantis in May 2009. Through the power of the immersive IMAX format, audiences will almost feel the weightlessness of space, but also the weigh…

NPR Comedian Paula Poundstone
The Levitt Pavilion in Westport, CT is proud to welcome comedian Paula Poundstone for the 3rd Annual Stand Up for Homes with Hope on Friday, September 10th. All the proceeds from the evening go to support the programs and services for the homeless and those at-risk of homelessness operated by homes with Hope.
It’s impossible to attend a Paula Poundstone performance without marveling at her ability to interact spontaneously with audience members in conversations bound to garner riotous laughter. Armed with nothing but a stool, a microphone and a can of Diet Pepsi, Paula’s ability to create humor on the spot has become the stuff of legend. Little wonder people leave Paula’s shows debating whether the random people she talked to were “plants” – which, of course they never are, and complaining that their cheeks hurt from laughter.
Poundstone's razor-sharp wit makes her a perfect fit as a regular panelist on NPR’s popular weekly news quiz show, “Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me.” (2008 winner of the prestigious Pe…

McCullouch Farm Horse Versatility Event
The Versatility Event is a series of performances to show many different styles and sports that Morgans engage in. These include Jumping, Western, English styles of riding and a display of all the colors of the breed. Visitors will also see a beautiful young black stallion, our 2010 colt in training, horses negotiating obstacles found on a trail, dressage horses, a musical ride and demonstrations of the fun we have with training young horses. All of the activities are explained so the audience can understand what the handlers are demonstrating. A key part of the Versatility Event has always been to educate people who love horses, but don't know enough about them.

IMAX movie "Hubble"

“Hubble” takes audiences through distant galaxies at 11 a.m. and 1 & 3 p.m. daily through June 24 on the Aquarium’s six-story screen – the largest in Connecticut.
“With its ability to look deep into space with great clarity, the Hubble Space Telescope has had a profound impact on the way we view the universe and ourselves,” said Chris Loynd, the Aquarium’s marketing director. “It’s only fitting that some of Hubble’s discoveries be shared in a format that also is unmatched in its size and clarity: on IMAX film.”
