This October, Emporia State University and the Peterson Planetarium invite you on an adventure that will span the galaxy and take you to some of the hottest places in the universe in the latest full-dome presentation The Hot and Energetic Universe.
Attendees will learn about high energy radiation that provides important information about the universe, our own galaxy, neutron stars, supernova remnants and stars like our own sun. From hot gases within clusters of galaxies to those around supermassive black holes, the show will take enthusiasts on an exploration of these hot and violent processes in space — both near and far.
Each public show includes a Q&A session, and an exploration of the night sky over Emporia with ESU Peterson Planetarium director Mark Brown.
The event is free and open to the public. Seating is limited, and each attendee must register individually at emporia.edu/planetarium.
