Coming up on Super Stellar Friday:
December 6th, 2024 | 6:30-9:30pm
Description: Did an apple actually fall on Newton’s head? In any case, Isaac Newton’s laws of gravity, along with Johannes Kepler’s laws of planetary motion allowed us to explain how the sun, and not Earth, is at the center of our solar system. Further, we discovered some planets – including Pluto. Enter Einstein who revolutionized our concept of gravity. No longer do objects possess some gravitational force, but rather, warp the fabric of space time. Be engaged through an interactive demonstration of how this works. Einstein even predicted gravity “waves.” What is that all about? Have we found any? Come, experience this and more in this spellbinding presentation, “The Gravity of It All!”
