Planetarium Show: UNVEILING THE INVISIBLE UNIVERSE

Make your Homecoming one to remember by attending one of four planetarium shows throughout the weekend! It's the perfect activity for you and your family while you're back on campus. Homecoming weekend's showing: UNVEILING THE INVISIBLE UNIVERSE For thousands of years humans observed light from the night sky with their eyes. In the beginning of the 17th century the use of the telescope by Galileo revolutionized our knowledge of the Universe. Then, in the 20th century, rockets made it possible to go above the atmosphere and make observations of x-ray and gamma ray radiation. Now observations can be made not only of light, but also of neutrinos, cosmic rays, and even gravitational waves – providing new windows into the universe and phenomenon such as the mergers of neutron stars and black holes. This show presents images of the cosmos revealed by all these different messengers.
