Cambridge Explores the Universe
May 4, 2008 12 Noon - 4:00 pm
Become an astronomer for a day! Discover the Harvard-Smithsonian's
"Exploration Stations" that include live demonstrations, interactive
multimedia exhibits, hands-ons activities, ask-an-astronomer cafe,
and telescope tours. Learn about the life and death of stars from
scientists and Boston-area youth. Drawings for fabulous free prizes
will be held throughout the afternoon. It's out of this world!
The event is hosted by scientists, students, and staff from the CfA,
the MIT Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research, the
Chandra X-ray Center, and the Initiative in Innovative Computing at
Harvard.
Cambridge Explores the Universe will be held in and outside of the
Phillips Auditorium of the Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden Street,
Cambridge, about one mile west of Harvard Square. No reservations are
necessary; however, in the event of high traffic, building and tour
access will be controlled using free timed tickets. Entrance to the
auditorium is at the west of the Center complex, near the Madison
Street entrance and large parking lot. The Center also can be easily
reached by public transportation. From the Harvard MBTA Station (Red
Line), take any bus or trackless trolley going west on Concord Avenue
(Arlmont Village and Belmont Center buses, Huron Avenue trolleys) and
get off at "Observatory Hill." Additional directions are available.
