This Sunday evening, 12 September, you can bring the family to watch a screening of the Emmy Award-winning PBS television series based on the book Cosmos by Carl Sagan. Taking place under the Brooklyn Bridge at Pier 1, this event is part of the Brooklyn Book Festival’s Bookend Events and promises to dazzle adults and children alike. As an added bonus, SyFy and the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy will provide Orion telescopes and the Amateur Astronomers Association of New York will be on-hand to help you locate stars and planets in the night sky. I know, I know, stars in New York City? At least it’s been getting dark a little earlier, so the event starts at 7pm.
