The night sky has mystified humanity for millennia, yet only recently have we begun to grasp our place in the cosmos.
From astronomy’s humble beginnings to jaw-dropping modern advancements, embark on a journey of celestial discovery in the Putnam Museum’s (1717 W 12th Street Davenport) portable planetarium, with “From Earth to the Universe” on Friday, Dec 27!
Voyage through time and space to learn how scientific advancements have propelled our understanding of the universe with “From Earth to the Universe”! This stunning exploration of the cosmos will take you out of this world to witness the wonder of our Solar System and further yet, beyond the reach of the Milky Way.
