Summer Sci-Fi Movie and Lecture Series: Deep Impact

Catch a screening of the 1998 sci-fi thriller Deep Impact, in which Elijah Wood, Morgan Freeman and Robert Duvall deal with the horror of a giant comet hurtling toward Earth. Afterward, a graduate student in Columbia’s astronomy program will dissect the film’s scientific merits (or lack thereof). If you’re not too freaked out about space-apocalypse scenarios, round out the evening with guided stargazing on the roof.
