The Re-Trial of Galileo on ABC Compass Sunday 9th May 10.10pm

Posted on by

Last October I was in the audience to watch an amazing International Year of Astronomy event, a staged version The Retrial of Galileo at UNSW. This legally based, philosophically tinted, scientifically evocative and thoroughly entertaining performance was filmed by the ABC.

The initiating group for this superb flight of thoughtful fancy, the History and Philosophy of Science group at UNSW, are pleased to announce that the ABC Compass program of The Re-Trial of http://hist-phil.arts.unsw.edu.au/major-events/Galileo Galileo will be shown on ABC 1 on Sunday 9th May at 10.10pm.

You can view the trailer of The Trials of Galileo on the UNSW homepage www.unsw.edu.au or the ABC Compass website www.abc.net.au/compass

If the television program is a patch on the live production I can highly recommend that you view the show.

Cheers,

Jesse
