Shapes and patterns can be found throughout the Museum - from Lenape beadwork to the stripes on a snake! For this session, families will be looking at the shapes and patterns on quilts. We will read "The All-Together Quilt." Children will get the opportunity to create a story from the quilts that they see and make their own paper quilts to take home.

Galactic Monsters: Active Supermassive Black Holes and their Effects on Galaxies
Join us in the Planetarium for a free talk with Dr. Lauranne Lanz, The College of New Jersey. Astronomers have found that nearly every galaxy hosts a supermassive black hole at its center. In some galaxies, these slumbering behemoths roar to life as active galactic nuclei (AGN). Dr. Lauranne Lanz discusses how AGN can shape the fate of their host galaxies and shares the frontiers of black hole research.

Speaker: Zachary Andalman, Princeton University
Matter is made up of atomic elements like Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, Iron, Aluminium, Gold, and Uranium. But where do the elements come from? Join us in the planetarium for this free talk and explore the cosmic factories where the elements are forged, from the inferno of the big bang to the nuclear furnaces of stars and supernovae to the spectacular collisions of neutron stars, which speaker Zachary Andalman studies in his research.
