The Silver City Public Library is showing a series of NOVA science documentaries through May 2017. Each month community members can view a film on a different fascinating topic, ranging from the human brain to outer space. The events are free and open to the public.

On Tuesday, March 14, 4:30 pm, participants will delve into the history of technology at a showing of Ancient Computer, the story of an enigmatic shipwrecked piece of metal discovered in 1900. Recent imaging tools have revealed the object's complexity, a sophistication that would not be matched for at least 1000 years. You can learn more about this fantastic archaeological find at www.antikythera-mechanism.gr.

The next NOVA documentary showing will be The Great Math Mystery on Tuesday, April 11 at 4:30 pm.
