A
stronomers, educators, and naturalists explore the mysteries of the dark in NIGHT LIFE December 26 through December 30 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm each day. From meteorites to giant planets, and star charts to a linear model of the solar system that will fit in your pocket, this event will explore the world of darkness where nothing seems to happen but much occurs. Bring your telescope and the Warren Astronomical Society will help you develop your skills as an amateur astronomer. Or, try your hand at operating a robotic rover over the surface of Mars. We'll even answer the questions "
How Big? How Far?" by exploring the distance
between the Earth and Moon to discover which is larger.
NIGHT LIFE
is free with admission. Weekday planetarium showings and Bats: Superheroes of the Night are offered at an additional charge. Explore Science this holiday season.
