We get more questions about black holes and aliens then all other audience questions combined.
For the first time, we’re offering a vivid tour through answers to many of our most frequently questions we get asked during post-show Q&A in the planetarium…
…from life on other planets to the quest for the biggest stars in our galaxy to “what’s the deal with Pluto?” to how black holes are made and more.
Thanks to our team of astronomy author-and-journalist presenters, this show take on an exclusive “ask the experts” theme, with time to talk more about the most common topics kids love about space, all linked to key Earth & Space Science for all grades/curriculum in the province of Ontario.
