About the show: Witness the revolution of astronomy! As we gaze upward with our unaided eyes, the sky appears as it did to our ancestors ā a Universe seemingly calm and tranquil. Yet, we also know space to be an active place, where dynamic events can be observed unfolding ā even on human timescales ā including newly discovered asteroids, violent stellar explosions, and colliding black holes. Novel technologies are now exposing these fascinating ātime-domain eventsā in unprecedented ways. This exciting show opens audiences to intriguing new discoveries made by an array of specialized telescopes and other instruments, unveiling the Universe as never before.
