Wilfred doesn't change for anyone, baby. I don't think I can make it to Super Science this week, got to cover some debates that night. I'll let you know if that changes, though. Have fun with your Anne Frank trees.

Just a reminder . . .

Union Hall's "Secret Science Club" rings in 2008 with more high-flying lectures, over-the-moon cocktails, and stargazing sounds!!

Wednesday, January 9 @ 8 pm

Union Hall's "Secret Science Club" presents: Space Is the Place

Astrophysicist David Spergel Lectures on the Latest News from the Cosmos

Strap on your rocket pack! The Secret Science Club is heading for the edge of time and space.

Observations of the "cosmic microwave background"the heat created by the Big Bang more than 13 billion years agohave allowed astrophysicists like David Spergel to answer some of cosmology's biggest questions: What is the size and shape of the universe? How much of the universe is made of ordinary matterand how much is dark matter?

And these interstellar observations have posed a new set of questions as well, including: What is "dark energy"? And what exactly happened during the Big Bang?

A recipient of the MacArthur genius grant and chair of the Department of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton, Dr. Spergel is a member of the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) working group and an advisor to NASA.

Don't miss David Spergel's mind-bending tour of the universe!
