On Earth, we can find about ninety different elements, but the process of the Big Bang created just three. We will learn how, in the process of shining, stars manufacture light elements up to iron. We will also learn about the processes that synthesize the heavier elements which are believed to happen when stars explode in supernovas.Free tickets will be available to reserve at 8:00 AM CT on Friday 4/25.
Shows are recommended for engaged grade school students through adults. Shows are strongly discouraged for ages 2 and under. Please be prepared to turn off phones and smartwatches, remove lighted shoes, etc., so that all participants may enjoy the show in its intended dark, quiet environment. Please arrive 5 minutes before your show, or ticket reservations may be released to allow for walk-in attendees.
