ABOUT THE FILM:
LUMINOUS tells the story of astronomer Larry Molnar as he investigates a distant, double-star system, about which he makes a daring and explosive prediction. Interviews with Dr. Molnar’s diverse set of colleagues, collaborators, and skeptics highlight science as a community and intensely human endeavor, debunking the myth of the lone scientist conducting dispassionate research. Instead, we see how Dr. Molnar’s deep Christian faith motivates his work, and we follow the team as they experience joy, disappointment, and frustration, facing their doubts and overcoming setbacks. Their journey highlights science as a messy,
dynamic, and exciting process of trying to understand what we observe in the universe, where being wrong can inspire new explorations and teach us just as much as being right.
