It might seem like our favorite athletes defy the laws of physics, but this
is not so - they work with physics, just as we all do.  Come and learn
about how motion, energy, and balance contribute to the things we all do in
sports.  We will have lots of audience participation, including an activity
for everyone who attends!

CU Boulder Geology Professor Brian Hynek has traveled the globe in search of rocks from outer space. These rocks tell fascinating stories...the geologic, hydrologic, and climatic histories of our neighboring planets. Meet at CU Planetarium for a memorable Saturday morning CU Wizards show presented by a real rock star who is seeking to answer one of the greatest questions: Are we alone?!
