Join us and NOMAC as we will trace the history of the universe from the big bang through the formation of the first atoms, to stars and the first galaxies. Then on to our galaxy, the Milky Way, the formation of our solar system and finally the earth. We will then discuss how the earth developed and how life began and evolved up to the present. Finally, where is the universe headed?

Formally called the aurora borealis, those beautiful reds, greens, and purples in the sky are an atmospheric phenomenon resulting from complex interactions between solar particles and the Earth’s magnetic field. We’ll look at the physics behind the aurora and get a good idea of what to do to see it well.
