Dr. Phil Plait

On 16 March, I attended this event. I enjoyed the stargazing after his talk. Asteroid impacts! Cometary debris! Extinction leve l events! These are the topics covered in this science based but fun look at giant impacts from cosmic objects. Dr. Phil Plait (the Bad Astronomer) talks about how these events have shaped our history, how they may do so again, and why Hollywood always seems to get them wrong. And lest you think it’s all doom and gloom, Dr. Plait details how we might prevent the next great impact from ruining our whole day. Time: 7pm (doors open at 6:30) Parking at CNU: Parking Lot B (next to Ferguson behind the chapel) or the Parking Deck. Location: Ferguson Center for the Arts Music & Theater Hall After the talk, join the Virginia LIving Museum for an evening of "Night Sky Viewing" with Dr. Plait at the Virginia Living Museum’s rooftop Observatory. Dress for the weather as telescope viewing will be available (weather permitting) The Museum's Wild Side Cafe will be open with food and beverage offerings for purchase. Tickets to talk: $10 Buy Online now: http://www.museumtix.com/venue/venueinfo.aspx?vid=802&tab=E&pvt=vlm Or buy directly from the VLM front desk or call 757-595-1900 and avoid the service charge.
