Tonight (April 6) marks the return presentation of

Oasis in Space

All life on Earth requires liquid water to exist.  That water can be subjected to extreme temperatures and pressures, but as long as it can stay liquid, life can hold on.  Beneath arctic ice, deep underground, near undersea volcanic vents—life finds a way.  So, when astronomers look for life elsewhere in our Solar System, liquid water is frequently sought out.

Oasis In Space takes us on a journey through our Solar System and beyond, in search of places in the universe where liquid water can exist. Where liquid water exists, life has a chance of survival, even if the place doesn’t resemble Earth at all! This new offering is an exciting program that is very family-friendly.  Admission is $5 per adult, $3 per child under 18, and $10 for a family of 3 or more. Lambuth students, faculty, and staff are admitted free with their ID.
