Travel Through Space and Time at the Brish!
Join us at 7:00 pm this year as we take a journey through space and time. We will begin our year by looking at how the human eye is designed to help us see all of the amazing things we find in space. We will then examine how we explore space, whether as an astronaut or through technology. Once we know how we examine space, we will begin our journey through space and time, starting with the formation of the universe approximately 14 billion years ago and ending on present-day Earth. This is one journey you don't want to miss!
