Join Carolyn DeCristofano, Plympton resident and author of A Black Hole is NOT a Hole, for an interactive exploration of the universe’s most extreme and mysterious objects.
Playful activities and demonstrations will help us explore questions such as: What are they, anyway? How do they form? Why are they invisible? And if they’re invisible, how can people find and investigate them? This program is best for kids in Grades 3-6, but everyone is welcome to participate--including grown-ups!
