Pierce College Science Dome: Science Fact or Science Fiction?
An afternoon of interactive science exhibits and talks about whether the amazing things billed as science in movies are rooted in fact.
Visitors can dig up imitation dinosaur bones and walk through a life-size, lighted “Stargate” modeled after the space-travel gate of the similarly named movie and TV show.
A series of 25-minute talks will explore such topics as “Total Recall: What would really happen on Mars,” or “Black Holes, Worm Holes and Warp Drives, Oh my!”
Science fiction movies will show inside the planetarium for a fee of $5 per flick.
Visitors who dress up as their favorite scientist or sci-fi character can compete for prizes. Kids 12 and younger can compete in the 12:30 p.m. contest, folks 13 and older can enter the 5:30 p.m. contest.
