Multiple Universes?–Apr21

HOW: This FREE event is presented by Wonderfest, the Friends of Mt. Tam, the San Francisco Amateur Astronomers, and Mount Tamalpais State Park. Optional sky tour and telescope viewing will follow. Bring a flashlight and — even though mountaintop weather (above the fog) is often warmer than down at sea level — wear warm clothes in layers. If rain or wildfire threatens, call 415-455-5370 after 4pm on event day.
PLEASE consider a contribution to Wonderfest (via the "Tickets" window, below) to support science popularization. We've never needed an appreciation of the FACTS — and of the beautiful mysteries — more!
