NEW! Science Cafe at The Cellar Lounge
|
|
Thursday, January 8, 2009 6:30 - 8:30 pm- Is Anybody Out There?
Did you ever wonder...? Join the South Florida Museum in its inaugural Science Café at The Cellar Lounge. This monthly event will bring local scientists, science enthusiasts and the science-curious together for casual, fun and enlightening conversations about topics that you just don't get to discuss every day. We'll begin by exploring The Search for Extraterrestrial Life with expert astronomer Jeff Rodgers. On the 2nd Thursday of each month we'll present a different topic of scientific interest for discussion. Drink specials, affordable food, and prize drawings. See? Exercising your brain cells can be fun! The Cellar is located at 4307 26th Street West (just north of Cortez Avenue) in Bradenton. Contact Amara Cocilovo 941-746-4131 x 11 |
| Your Place In Space 4: Solar Systems |
| Tuesday, January 13, 2009 6:30pm- 8pm  Until 1995, we knew of one solar system in the universe - our own. Now we have discovered over 300 other solar systems in our little corner of the Milky Way galaxy. Join Jeff Rodgers for a talk about the formation and history of our solar system, and a peek into how we are learning about planets around other stars. $5, members free. Please RSVP to Amara Cocilovo at 746-4131 x 11
