Our observations of the universe around us have led to the discovery of numerous galaxies. We will explore the diverse shapes and lives of these galaxies. Through images provided by modern telescopes and computer simulations we will explore how spiral arms form, why massive ellipticals glow with ancient stars, and where irregular galaxies fit into the cosmic story. We will witness galactic collisions, star formation, and the slow transformations driven by gravity and time.Free tickets will be available to reserve at 8:00 AM CT on Friday 1/30 at https://www.ticketleap.events/events/unk-planetarium
Shows are recommended for engaged grade school students through adults. Shows are strongly discouraged for ages 2 and under.

In conjunction with the show, the UNK Astronomy Club will provide telescope observing, outside of BHS, at 8:00 PM (weather permitting).
