📢 Space Fossils
Saturday, June 27, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Join us for a thrilling journey into planetary science as we celebrate World Asteroid Day! Discover the secrets of our cosmic neighborhood, explore how space rocks shape not only our world, but our local geography, and learn what it takes to protect Earth from cosmic impacts.
With hands-on exploration, guests can simulate asteroid impacts, experiment with crater-making, and explore the physics of space rocks through interactive activities.
Special guest presentation at 11 a.m.
We are honored to welcome USGS research geologist David Powars, of the Chesapeake Bay Impact Crater — the largest known impact crater in the United States. David will share the fascinating detective story of how he uncovered this massive, 35-million-year-old cosmic collision buried right beneath our region.
Perfect for space enthusiasts, families, and curious minds of all ages!
