FIREFALL

Throughout Earth’s violent history, impacts from comets and asteroids have mercilessly shaped its surface. The ancient barrage continues today, from harmless meteors (those brilliant streaks in the night sky) to mountain-sized boulders wandering perilously close to our home planet. This ceaseless Firefall is our only tangible connection to the universe beyond and is an ever-present reminder of our own humble beginnings in the hostile environment of space. The screening is free for all ages (under 18 with parent or legal guardian), but due to limited seating kindly register in advance.

Come and hear Dr. Sean Lindsay show and tell us about meteorites before the show.
