Lowell Astronomer Dr. Gerard van Belle has developed a brand-new telescope instrument that uses state-of-the-art high-speed imagers to try to beat the blurring effects of the Earth’s atmosphere. This instrument, QWSSI (pronounced “quizzy”), has just been mounted onto a telescope for the first time and achieved “first light”, a special astronomical milestone for new instruments that indicates that the first starlight photons have been collected by its detectors.

Welcome to the JCC Ames Amzalak Rochester Jewish Film Festival Virtual Mini-Fest in celebration of the festival’s 20th anniversary! The festival committee is pleased to present 6 films that had been selected for RJFF 2020 prior to the pandemic. We hope you see them all and, in turn, feel some of the film festival ruach (spirit) we have all come to enjoy each summer. More films are planned for the coming months so please stay in touch with us. Thank you for your support and Happy 20th to RJFF!
