SUMMARY:The University of Arizona: Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab Tour
DESCRIPTION:Explore the cutting-edge of astronomical innovation on this 90-minute guided tour of the Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab at the University of Arizona. Learn how pioneering engineering\, optical science\, and precision manufacturing come together to create the world’s largest and most advanced telescope mirrors—each 8.4 meters (27 feet) in diameter. \nLocated beneath the U of A’s football stadium\, the Mirror Lab is the birthplace of mirrors for the Giant Magellan Telescope\, a revolutionary new instrument with a 25-meter primary mirror composed of seven of our 8.4-meter segments. This next generation of telescopes will transform astronomy—probing the early universe\, revealing the formation of the first stars\, and potentially detecting signs of life on distant exoplanets. \nThe tour begins at the historic Steward Observatory\, U of A’s first research department\, established in 1917. After an introductory presentation in our iconic white-brick dome\, we’ll walk to the Mirror Lab for an up-close look at the unique processes involved—from melting glass to precision polishing and optical testing. \nJoin us and discover how the University of Arizona is shaping the future of space exploration and astronomical discovery.

SUMMARY:Arizona Science Center: Dorrance DOME After Hours - Little Eve
DESCRIPTION:Planet Earth is a truly fascinating place. The only known world where life has flourished. But how did it all begin? That’s what Little Eve\, the young bear in Krutart Studio’s new film\, is about to discover. \nA story kids love\, and parents enjoy just as much. Eve is small\, but her problems feel huge. She’s worried about the wolves who won’t leave her alone. Luckily\, her mother is there. She shares three thrilling stories from the history of life on Earth—where even the smallest can outsmart the mighty. Take our very own planet. It’s not the largest like Jupiter\, not the brightest like Venus\, and not the most beautiful like Saturn. Yet it is the only one with life\, a life that began with a tiny\, determined cell. Over time\, it grew into something more\, starting with the first spark of existence and leading to a clever ancient squirrel that outlived the mighty dinosaurs. So what if Little Eve is stronger than she ever imagined?
