Lycoming College invites the Williamsport community and surrounding areas to enjoy a free show in its Detwiler Planetarium on Friday, Nov. 7.

Embark on a cosmic adventure with “Black Holes and Dark Matter” as we travel from our solar system to Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole anchoring our galaxy. Uncover the story behind the discovery of black holes, explore the nature of these powerful cosmic objects, and investigate the elusive dark matter shaping the universe itself.

Doors will open 15 minutes before start of each show. Please note that there will be no admittance after the show begins. You can find us at the Lynn Science Center, located on the corner of Washington Boulevard and Mulberry Street.
