Viewing the Beginning of the Universe from the Bottom of the World

January 17th, 2009 10:00 AM   -   12:00 PM
The South Pole is otherworldly. Join University of Chicago Professor Clem Pryke, PhD and learn about his research expeditions to Antarctica and why scientists travel to the end of the earth to learn about space. You’ll hear what it is like to work at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station where summer temperatures often hover at 40 degrees below zero, try on Extreme Cold Weather gear, and learn about the exciting questions about the universe that are being answered by astronomers at the ends of the earth.
