Planetarium After Dark: A Creepy Cosmos

The universe is home to many fascinating phenomena and beautiful objects. But among such splendor, something more sinister lurks… From the numerous astronomical events which could end life as we know it, to the implications for humanity if we truly are alone in the universe, and what it might mean for us if we aren’t alone, join us as we explore some of the most unsettling and terrifying components of astronomy. Don’t forget: in space, no one can hear you scream.
