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.
