*By Daily Press staff*

Santa Monica College’s Friday night astronomy series is offering visitors a look back at the Hubble Space Telescope’s 15 years of discoveries as the project approaches a major crisis.

“Hubble's Heritage” will be the college’s feature show on March 11\. The guest lecture will be "Time for Mars."

On March 18, Julie Townsend of the Jet Propulsion Lab will talk about what it is like to drive Mars rovers and work a Mars-time-based schedule.

The feature show and guest lecture are at 8 p.m. Each is preceded by "The Night Sky Show," which re-creates the night sky and provides the latest information on space exploration. The show begins at 7 p.m.

The astronomy shows are held in the John Drescher Planetarium, which features the state-of-the-art Digistar projection system. It is located on the second floor of Drescher Hall, 1900 Pico Blvd. The guest lecture is in science lecture hall, room 140\. Tickets are $5 each or $9 for the "double bill," with discounts for children and senior citizens. For information, call (310) 434-4223 or (310) 434-3000\. Something to sing about at SMC
