Tales of a Time Traveler
Narrated by David Tennant, this show takes you on a voyage of time travel like never imagined! Explore ancient civilizations. Witness the birth of the universe. Journey to the edge of a black hole. In this show, you will discover that time is not so easily defined. Time is illusive, impossible to hold. Time travel surrounds you- from the biological clock in your brain and the changing shadows on a sundial, to the history of life on Earth. Then the story expands to the lives of stars, the time scale of the Big Bang, and the distortion of time by gravity.
Recommended for ages 8 and up.
Firefall
The Earth has been (and continues to be) bombarded by objects from the solar system. The objects are left over from the formation of the sun and subsequent formation of the solar system. Meteoroids, Comets and asteroids have all hit our planets. The surfaces of Mercury, Mars, our moon, and the moons of the large gas planets show evidence of this bombardment. Come and find out what may threaten our planet from space.
