Museum Night: The Universe Has Time (You Don’t)
special program
The future of Earth looks bright! We’ll be illuminated by hundreds of thousands of new satellites orbiting our planet, taking away such inconveniences like natural starlight. Forget about the Moon as well. It’s about to be striking off on its own. And our star, the Sun? In a couple of billion of years, it’ll be our direct, excruciatingly bright neighbor. That is until it envelopes all of Earth completely, of course.
