SUMMARY:“Living Worlds”
DESCRIPTION:Earth is a planet shaped by life. From the forests that help stabilize our climate\, to the winds carrying life-sustaining water and oxygen to far-flung parts of the globe\, the fingerprints of life are visible even from many light years away. \nWhether earthly or alien\, all life leaves a trace. Join narrator Daveed Diggs on a journey through space and time to discover how life makes Earth liveable\, where it could be found elsewhere in the cosmos\, and what new technologies we might use to find it. Along the way\, you’ll learn how light and color can help us spot other living worlds even from vast distances—and develop a new appreciation for the one-of-a-kind planet right beneath our feet. \nShow length ~25 min. \nThis program is followed by a quick look at the constellations\, planets and other celestial wonders visible in the night sky from our region. \n.avia-button-avb6a8a98276b4a0:hover {background-color: #444444 !important;color: #ffffff !important;transform: translateZ(0) scale(1.03); }Click here to register online for tickets

SUMMARY:“Living Worlds”
DESCRIPTION:Earth is a planet shaped by life. From the forests that help stabilize our climate\, to the winds carrying life-sustaining water and oxygen to far-flung parts of the globe\, the fingerprints of life are visible even from many light years away. \nWhether earthly or alien\, all life leaves a trace. Join narrator Daveed Diggs on a journey through space and time to discover how life makes Earth liveable\, where it could be found elsewhere in the cosmos\, and what new technologies we might use to find it. Along the way\, you’ll learn how light and color can help us spot other living worlds even from vast distances—and develop a new appreciation for the one-of-a-kind planet right beneath our feet. \nShow length ~25 min. \nThis program is followed by a quick look at the constellations\, planets and other celestial wonders visible in the night sky from our region. \n.avia-button-avb6a8bed4c66f22:hover {background-color: #444444 !important;color: #ffffff !important;transform: translateZ(0) scale(1.03); }Click here to register online for tickets

SUMMARY:“Dark Matter Mystery”
DESCRIPTION:“Dark Matter Mystery” takes you on the biggest quest of contemporary astrophysics – the search for dark matter. We know today that approximately a quarter of the Universe is filled with a mysterious glue known as dark matter.

Join the scientists on their hunt for dark matter with experiments in space and deep underground. Will they be able to solve… the Dark Matter Mystery? \nShow length ~40 min. \n.avia-button-avb6a8e93b493678:hover {background-color: #444444 !important;color: #ffffff !important;transform: translateZ(0) scale(1.03); }Click here to register online for tickets
