All UNC-CH postdocs are invited to a free screening of the Morehead Planetarium show Messengers of Time and Space, which will be followed by a live tour of the Carolina night sky. Families are welcome to attend. Please arrive by 4:45 PM, as the show will begin promptly at 5:00 PM. Late entries cannot be admitted once the show has started.
About the show: 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.
