RVCC Planetarium to Present New Show Focusing on What’s Beneath the Earth’s Crust
Local audiences will have the opportunity to learn much more about what’s beneath the Earth’s crust when the Raritan Valley Community College Planetarium presents a new show in January, Dark Biosphere. The program, geared for ages 10 to adult, will be shown Saturdays, January 10, 17, 24, and 31, at 7 p.m.
Deep beneath the Earth’s crust, with no light, no air, and very little water, in pores and fissures of hard rock, scientists have found an enormous biodiversity of micro-organisms that thrives in extreme conditions. Dark Biosphere challenges us to rethink not only the origin and evolution of life on Earth, but also its possible existence throughout the Universe. The RVCC show has been made possible with a grant from NASA’s Space Grant Consortium.
