Definitive evidence of planets around other stars, or “exoplanets,” only dates to the early 1990s. Since then, astronomers have engaged in the challenging task of studying these difficult-to-see objects from afar. In this presentation, we will explore one specific example of a missing shade of red and what it tells us about hydrogen and planetary evaporation.Free tickets will be available to reserve at 8:00 AM CT on Friday 11/27.
Shows are recommended for engaged grade school students through adults. Shows are strongly discouraged for ages 2 and under. Please be prepared to turn off phones and smartwatches, remove lighted shoes, etc., so that all participants may enjoy the show in its intended dark, quiet environment.
