Family Science Workshop: 100 Years of Galaxies

2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the discovery that our Milky Way was only one galaxy among many, and that the universe was far larger than previously believed. In celebration, make your own diorama of the Milky Way and its neighboring galaxies on a scale of 1:5 hundred thousand billion billion, and learn how to measure the distance to places too far away to visit in person. Recommended for ages 8+.

*Please note, Family Science Workshop: 100 Years of Galaxies will be offered from 11am–4pm on Saturday, February 17. In addition, it will also be offered from Monday, February 19 through Friday, February 23 as part of School’s Out, Stars Are In (SOSI).
