After Dark: Extraterrestrial

After Dark: Extraterrestrial takes the Exploratorium’s after hours format into the search for life beyond Earth, turning the museum into a space for exploring some of the biggest questions in astronomy. The evening focuses on the possibilities of other worlds through exhibits, activities and conversations that look at what scientists know, what they are still searching for and why the universe continues to fascinate us. The appeal is in the uncertainty: the search for extraterrestrial life is filled with questions, theories and discoveries that are still unfolding. As with the best Exploratorium programs, the experience is built around curiosity rather than simply absorbing information. For anyone who enjoys thinking about the universe beyond our own planet, this offers a chance to explore those ideas in a setting designed for discovery.
