Luminous

Luminous

Will astronomer Larry Molnar be right and will he be the first scientist ever to correctly predict the explosion of a star? Can a small American university be at the forefront of a groundbreaking theory? Rarely has a scientific experiment been served up as humanly as in Luminous. For this intimate portrait, Molnar and his students were followed for no less than five years, resulting in this sympathetic and disarming documentary about hard, hard science.
