Saturday, February 21 2026 from 10:00 PM to 11:00 PM

Join us in the Planetarium for this free science talk with guest speaker Zachary Andalman, Princeton University. Matter is made up of atomic elements like Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, Iron, Aluminium, Gold, and Uranium. But where do the elements come from? Explore the cosmic factories where the elements are forged, from the inferno of the big bang to the nuclear furnaces of stars and supernovae to the spectacular collisions of neutron stars, which speaker Zachary Andalman studies in his research.
