FRI, APR 4, 2025 / 2 PM
Remember gazing at the Milky Way and wishing on a shooting star? You might be wishing on a SpaceX Starlink satellite instead! The number of satellites orbiting Earth is skyrocketing, driven by ambitious projects and growing demand for global internet access, Earth observation, and scientific research. This new space race is changing the face of the night sky, but what does it mean for us here on Earth?
Join Aurelian Balan, Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Delta College, for a fascinating presentation exploring the satellite boom, its impact on our planet, and the challenges and advances it presents.
This is a family-friendly presentation with fun demonstrations, including spaced-themed snacks at the conclusion of the presentation. When scheduling, please note that THE INFINITE is for guests ages 8 and up. Tickets to this event do not include admission to THE INFINITE.
