About "Violent Universe":
The beauty of a starlit sky conceals the violent forces at work within our universe. From the upheaval of a giant star that explodes to release its material into space, to a future encounter between the Earth and a large asteroid that is too close for comfort, we will witness the forces that hold the universe together and occasionally try to rip it apart.
Join us in… Show more the Willard Geer Planetarium at Bellevue College to view the show "Violent Universe" and stay to take a tour of the night sky using our state-of-the-art Digistar 3 planetarium projector.
If the weather is clear, come to the Geer Planetarium (room B244) at 6:30 PM to check out sun spots Or stay late after the 8:30 show to check out the stars in real life on the roof of the B building!**
**These events will be cancelled in the case of clouds, rain, or snow.
