Witness the revolution of astronomy As we gaze upward with our unaided eyes, the sky appears as it did to our ancestors – a Universe seemingly calm and tranquil. Yet, we also know space to be an active place, where dynamic events can be observed unfolding — even on human timescales — including newly discovered asteroids, violent stellar explosions, and colliding black holes. Novel technologies are now exposing these fascinating “time-domain events” in unprecedented ways. This exciting show opens audiences to intriguing new discoveries made by an array of specialized telescopes and other instruments, unveiling the Universe as never before. Produced by NSF NOIRLab. This show is recommended for ages 10 and up.
