Pluto is a KBO along with Eris, Haumea and Makemake. Beyond the Kuiper Belt is the Oort Cloud, a huge spherical halo marking the gravitational boundary of our solar system extending one quarter of the way to the nearest star (2000-100000 A.U.’s). These regions contain billions of objects, many of which visit the inner solar system as comets. Free Event.

THESE BIRDS, A Play Inspired by Death, Flowers, and Farkle by Merry Ellefson

Sealaska Heritage Institute Clan House

Friday and Saturday, Feb. 13 and 14, at 7:30 p.m.

Sunday, Feb. 15 at 3:00 p.m.

Inspired by conversations with diverse Juneau residents, These Birds, a play inspired by death, flowers, and farkle is a new interview-based play about death and dying. As stated by an interviewee, “No one gets out of here alive.” In a world often divided, death offers common ground: a place where stories meet, and where silence gives way to song. Through stories gathered from Juneauites of every age and walk of life, These Birds invites audiences to discover compassion, courage, and community in the face of life’s final mystery, and to cultivate connections with hospice, mental health, and end-of-life planning in our community.
