Messengers of Time and Space

Messengers of Time and Space

Ages:9th - 12th Grade

Messengers of Time and Space is a stunning visual and educational experience that leads you on a journey through the dynamic Universe during a night of observing at the International Gemini Observatory.

Gemini is working together with observatories (including the new Vera C. Rubin Observatory) that monitor the night sky for exciting astronomical events that change with time. Sometimes, light is not the only indicator of these short-term events. Audiences will learn how information can reach us through other messengers like cosmic rays, elusive particles called neutrinos, and even gravitational waves rippling through the Universe.
