The matter that makes up our bodies was once part of a star.  Keith Davis, Ph.D., will use the incredible display capabilities of the Digital Visualization Theater to illustrate the number of stars in the universe, and show how stars have slowly transformed the initial matter from the Big Bang into the elements we see in our world.  Come learn about the role of galaxies and supernovae in this incredible feat.

Join us at the DVT on Friday, November 9th at 7:00 for this free presentation.  The event is open to the public and appropriate for ages 5+, however, seating is limited.
