Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Summary

For centuries philosophers debated on the origins of stars. Now, science gives us a theory involving billions of years and flaming gases. But Scientist Mordecai knows the truth. This animated short is about a character who lives in Antarctica and creates stars out of snowballs. When a gap in the starry sky is detected, he attempts to fill the void by shooting a new snowball into the sky. Unfortunately, the plan proves to be an unsucceeded attempt.
