Clark Planetarium is joining FanX in September 2024 for some fun science demonstrations and activities.
You can find a full schedule of events here.
Jenny Hardman stopped by the Planetarium to get a sneak peek at one of the experiments they'll be doing at the comic convention.
It's a Rubens Tube, which helps you visualize the relationship between sound waves and how fast they move. It's named after Heinrich Rubens, a German physicist.
There's also a full schedule of fun and free science demonstrations going on all the time at Clark Planetarium at The Gateway.
This month, they are celebrating "Scope-tember', to highlight different types of scopes on their fun Science Fridays:
- September 13 - Micropscopes
- September 20 - Space Telescopes and Gas Giants
- September 27, Tinker Day - Telescopes
And for Tinker Day on September 27, you can learn all about kaleidoscopes.
