When you worry, what do you worry about? Many people worry about their immediate surroundings, including state and national issues. Julius Brecht, a former physicist for the National Space Science Data Center, joins us for a presentation that expands the scope of worrisome topics by simply looking up at the sky in wonderment of what’s out there. What surprising, if not drastic, future can we expect when we look to the stars? Recommended for ages 10 and up.
