Messengers of Time and Space highlights the future of astronomy. Instead of capturing a single image of the sky, time-domain astronomy is focussed on studying tiny changes over days, months, and years. The LIGO observatories target gravitational waves to identify massive and distant collisions, while next-generation telescopes like the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will allow astronomers to capture the entire sky every 2–3 nights, resulting in thousands of potential new discoveries, and a deeper understanding of our dynamic universe.
This spectacular show includes a 10-minute Q&A with one of our presenters, to show even more of the wonders of modern astronomy.
RUNTIME 40 MINUTES - RECOMMENDED AGES 5+
