You can come up with your child or grandchild to engage in several brain-related activities\, and they can learn more about the most complex part of the human body\, which happens to be located between the ears. There will be six different activities:– YOUR BRAIN AT WORK!– WHOSE BRAIN IS IT ANYWAY?– MAKE A NEURON– HOW DO NEURONS TALK TO EACH OTHER?– ASK SCIENTISTS– HOW DO WE HEAR THE SOUNDS?

Today\, April 6\, astronauts aboard Artemis II return humanity to the Moon for a lunar flyby—the first mission of its kind since 1972. During this flyby\, boundaries will be pushed\, records will be set\, and a new generation of space exploration begins. Watch the lunar flyby in Kopernik Observatory’s Space Science Lab. Learn how to track Artemis II and other missions to space using NASA resources in our Computer Lab. We are also anticipating partly cloudy skies this evening and if that holds\, the observatory will also be open for telescope viewing. Don’t miss this historic event! \n\n\n\nFood will not be provided\, however\, we welcome you to bring your own packaged snacks and bottled drinks (candy\, chips\, soda\, etc.).
