 on also one of the earliest films to engage scientists in its making. Phys
 icist and engineer Hermann von Oberth\, considered a founder of rocketry\,
  served as technical advisor and designed the model for the film’s spacesh
 ip. Based on a novel of the same name by Lang’s wife and frequent collabor
 ator Thea von Harbou\, Woman in the Moon is an epic space adventure that f
 ollows the entanglements of a group intent on journeying to the moon in se
 arch of gold. The film features arresting sets of the lunar surface and sp
 ecial effects by abstract film pioneer Oskar Fischinger\, helping to inaug
 urate the tradition of experimental filmmakers working on commercial films
 –which continued with films such as 2001: A Space Odyssey\, The Empire Str
 ikes Back\, and most recently James Gray’s Ad Astra. Before the screening 
 of Woman in the Moon\, astronomer and data scientist Jana Grcevich\, co-au
 thor of Vacation Guide to the Solar System\, will speak about how the film

 f Art and at the American Museum of Natural History\, and is the outreach
