Classes begin next week for Bakersfield College and faculty and staff have been eagerly preparing for a great new academic year. Next month I’m hoping to bring a new show to the William M. Thomas Planetarium called “Mesmerica” in partnership with Worlds Ltd. The plan is to do three showings on each of the Saturday evenings in September. Hopefully by the time this appears in print, all of the contract work will be completed and if so, tickets will be available a few weeks later through Worlds.
