The Science of Fire in the Sky
Do you know the difference between a meteor and a comet? Are all space rocks made the same?
On Saturday, March 25 at 1:00 PM, join the SETS Foundation at the Lakes Region Library for Fire in the Sky, a crash course in space junk, and learn about the different ways that people have been fascinated by meteors throughout the span of history!
The ancient peoples thought that it was their Gods returning to earth; in the middle ages, they thought they delivered disease. In truth, meteors are really rock and metal that create fiery trails as they streak through the night sky. This presentation will explain the science of meteors from their birth in space to sitting on somebody’s desk or on a museum shelf.
Library programs are free and available to everyone; however, seating is limited and registration is required. For additional information about programming please call your local branch, follow @CitrusLibraries on Facebook or Instagram, or view the online calendar at citruslibraries.org.
