Tonight, the Museum of Discovery’s monthly “Science After Dark” series returns with It’s Not the End of the World.  Science After Dark is a monthly program for adults 21 years and up.

Last month the Mayan “prediction” of the world ending did not come true.  Obviously. But that doesn’t mean that it won’t end some day.  Scientists have examined the life cycle of stars, planets and other heavenly bodies.  From this, they can extrapolate how the Earth might come to an end, years and years and years into the future.

Science after Dark occurs the last Wednesday of each month. Museum educators pick a science-related topic, and develop an event around it. The event is for ages 21 and older. General admission is $5 per person. Museum members get in free.

It is a great chance to explore the museum’s exhibits and enjoy downtown Little Rock.
