Messengers of Time and Space
Witness the revolution of astronomy
As we gaze upward with our unaided eyes, the sky appears as it did to our ancestors – a Universe seemingly calm and tranquil. Yet, we also know space to be an active place, where dynamic events can be observed unfolding — even on human timescales — including newly discovered asteroids, violent stellar explosions, and colliding black holes. Novel technologies are now exposing these fascinating “time-domain events” 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.
Produced by NSF NOIRLab.
√ Available in Spanish/Castilian
√ Assistive listening devices available upon request (at least 15 minutes in advance)

The show can be presented in Spanish/Castilian for the entire audience, or Morehead can provide assistive listening devices (headsets) for a Spanish/Castilian translation (currently serving up to 6 students) while the show is presented in English. If you need one of these options for your group, please discuss this with Morehead Reservations when you are requesting your field trip reservation.
