Supermassive black holes are found in most galaxies and we're beginning to uncover how the merging of galaxies activate galactic centers. This engaging fulldome film was produced by Fiske Planetarium in collaboration with APS Professor, Dr. Julie Comerford and former graduate student Dr. Becky Nevin through support from an NSF award.

This show is recommended for grades 7+ (ages 12+).

Bird lovers and enthusiasts are invited to attend the 2024 BirdTok Community Bird Walk at Westminster College. Led by Westminster students, the event is open to everyone from the campus and local community who wishes to connect with nature, observe local bird species, meet students, and enjoy the company of fellow birdwatchers.

The bird walk is easy and casual and will take place on Friday, April 26, from 11:40 am to 12:40 pm, starting at the dock on Brittain Lake at Westminster College. Participants will be able to explore the beautiful surroundings of the college while learning about the birds that live in the area. Westminster College is home to Wildlife Sanctuary spaces certified by the Bartramian Audubon Society of Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania.

Bird Walk organizers recommend that attendees wear comfortable shoes suitable for outdoor terrain and bring their own binoculars, as a limited number will be available for borrowing. However, binoculars are not necessary for participation.
