Luminous (an Astronomical Documentary)

Directed by Sam Smartt 

Luminous tells the story of the highly publicized prediction of a binary star merger in the constellation of Cygnus in 2022. This merger will create a very rare luminous red nova. The film follows astronomer Larry Molnar’s five-year journey to make and test his historic prediction, knowing that its success or failure will unfold squarely in the international spotlight.

Followed by a Q & A session with the film maker, Sam Smart.
