Sunday, Feb. 23
3 p.m.
Figge Art Museum
225 W. 2nd St., Davenport

Free for students, $7 for others.

“The Hunt for Planet B” captures the human drama behind NASA’s high-stakes Webb Telescope which launched on Dec. 25, 2021. The film interweaves the creation of this massive machine – the most ambitious space observatory ever built – with the story of a pioneering group of female scientists on a quest to find life beyond our solar system.

What begins as a real-time scientific adventure turns into a deep meditation on our place in the universe. On the brink of seeing farther out than ever before, we find ourselves looking back at our own imperiled planet with new eyes.

Hosted by Clean Sphere, the BHC environmental club, as part of the 2025 QC Environmental Film Series.
