Great Balls Of Fire! Comets, Asteroids, Meteors
Cost: Free with suggestion admission
Description: What exactly are asteroids, comets and meteorites, and where do they come from? What can they tell us about Earth and the origins of our Solar System? The Newark Museum is pleased to host Great Balls of Fire on its national tour. This thrilling new exhibit explores these questions and planetary science in a fun way by utilizing a variety of interactive multimedia and hands-on experiences. While asteroids and comets are popular subjects for movies like “Armageddon” and “Deep Impact,” they are also playing their own starring roles in scientific research. Over the past several years, a small fleet of NASA probes and space telescopes have been exploring asteroids and comets. In 2013, more than a thousand people in Chelyabinsk, Russia were injured when an asteroid exploded in the air above their city. With all this interest and excitement, asteroids and comets are compelling subjects for an exhibition.
Location: Newark Museum, 49 Washington Ave, Newark, NJ
Time: 10:45 am
