News In Brief         Point of No Return plays across world Point of No Return, an astronomy show developed by UNL astronomy researchers, has been distributed to more than 85 planetariums in 42 states, Australia, Canada, Germany, Peru and South Africa. The program, based on work by a UNL astronomy research group headed by Martin Gaskell, uses data from the Hubble Space Telescope to explore the universe of quasars and supermassive black holes - specialties of Gaskell and his graduate students. UNL's Mueller Planetarium was awarded an IDEAS grant from the Space Telescope Science Institute to produce the program. It premiered at Mueller Planetarium in the University of Nebraska State Museum in March. Gaskell said that when he and Jack Dunn, coordinator of Mueller Planetarium, originally proposed the project to NASA, one of their aims was to be able to explain some of the key concepts of quasars in terms that the average layman could understand. Dunn said planetariums signed up to use the program have a combined average annual attendance of more than 1.7 million people. He said requests for program materials are still being received. This fall, Mueller Planetarium presents Point of No Return, Tuesdays through Sundays at 3 p.m. through Aug. 21; and Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. beginning Aug. 27 (except the days of Nebraska home football games). Tickets are sold at the NU State Museum front desk in Morrill Hall the day of the show. Tickets are $6 for adults and $4 and for children and university students. The ticket price includes admission to the museum. For further information call 472-2641 or visit the planetarium Web site www.spacelaser.com.
