Exhibition:Early Astronomy in the University of Michigan Collections
2023-04-09 09:00 - 20:00 (America/Detroit) | Hatcher Graduate Library - Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room
Trace how astronomy was developed, studied, and disseminated through the centuries, from 1500 BCE to the Renaissance. On display is material drawn from the University of Michigan collections dealing with the history of early astronomy: manuscripts, early printed books, and artifacts illustrating Mesopotamian, Greek, Islamic, and Western European astronomy.

This exhibit and its permanent online counterpart (https://umlib.us/earlyastronomy) are part of the Aratus Project, which was sponsored by the National Science Foundation and led by Prof. Francesca Schironi. The core of the project has been to study Aratus’ "Phaenomena," the most important poem on stars and constellations of the Graeco-Roman ancient world, and its exegetical tradition. Read an annotated edition and English translation of "Phaenomena" and its commentaries (https://aratus.classics.lsa.umich.edu/). The physical and online exhibits place this research work within its later intellectual and historical context.

Curated by: John Steele, Professor of the History of the Exact Sciences in Antiquity, Department of Egyptology and Assyriology, Brown University; Francesca Schironi, U-M Professor of Classical Studies; Evyn Kropf, U-M Librarian for Middle Eastern & North African Studies; Pablo Alvarez, U-M Curator (Special Collections Research Center).

Exhibition:Humanize the Numbers
2023-04-09 10:00 - 17:00 | Off Campus Location - Detroit Historical Museum
Prison Creative Arts Project presents an exhibition of collaborative photography at the Detroit Historical Museum (5401 Woodward Ave. in Detroit), open now through May 21st.

A public reception will be held on March 9th, 6:00–9:00 PM, with a panel of previous workshop participants at 7:00 PM.

We hope you will be able to see the exhibit, and please be in touch if you have any questions.

Humanize the Numbers shows the perspectives of men in Michigan prisons. The prison system regulates every part of an inmate's identity. Instead of using their name, they are given an ID number. Visiting room photos and mug shots are tightly regulated. Personal info is recorded: height, weight, etc. In the process, their humanity is denied.

This exhibit at the Detroit Historical Museum reveals the faces and stories of those in prison. It lifts up the voices of those who have been silenced by the criminal legal system. The Humanize the Numbers project gives them a freedom not normally allowed in prison. They share their stories with the world outside. By doing so, those in prison reclaim their humanity.

Museum hours
Thursdays–Saturdays: 10:00 AM–5:00PM

Exhibition:UN/EARTH
2023-04-09 10:00 - 16:00 | Museum of Natural History
Featuring work by Gina Gibson, UN/EARTH explores science and art from a mile underground. Located in the former Homestake gold mine in Lead, South Dakota, the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) houses experiments that give us a better understanding of the universe. The location—deep underground—provides a near-perfect environment for experiments that need to escape the constant bombardment of cosmic radiation, which can interfere with the detection of rare physics events. Built in collaboration with the University of Michigan, the LUX-Zeplin is the world’s most sensitive dark matter experiment. SURF also hosts experiments in biology, geology and engineering.

Gina Gibson is an internationally exhibiting artist and professor of Graphic Design at Black Hills State University. In 2019, Gibson became the first artist in residence at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Gibson's work celebrates the search deep below the surface for beauty in the old and new, the light and dark, and the known and unknown.

UN/EARTH was developed in collaboration with the U-M Department of Physics, the Sanford Underground Research Facility and Black Hills State University.

Tuesdays–Sundays
11:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.
Ages: 5 and up

Microorganisms, or microscopic organisms, live where no other life can live- like at the bottom of the ocean, in geysers, and in the Dead Sea. But did you know your local ponds are also teeming with microbial life? Roll up your sleeves and prepare to look at these pond water microbes using a microscope. What types of microbes live in ponds, and what purpose do they serve? Get ready to draw, color, and identify microbes in this hands-on activity.

Presentation:Science Forum Discovery Demos
2023-04-09 11:00 - 11:20 | Museum of Natural History
Join us in the Science Forum for a 15-20 minute engaging science demonstration that will help you see the world in a whole new way. Demonstrations are free and appropriate for visitors ages 5 and above. Schedule subject to change.

Shedding Light on Magnets:
What makes a magnet magnetic? Why do they stick together? Join us as we explore magnetism, magnetic fields, and even what that has to do with your cell phone. We will highlight how researchers use light to study the magnetism of new materials.

Made possible by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

Presentation:Did An Asteroid Really Kill The Dinosaurs?
2023-04-09 11:30 - 12:15 | Museum of Natural History
Did a space rock six miles wide slam into the Earth 66 million years ago and wipe out 75 percent of all living species at that time, including the dinosaurs? Cosmic collisions are abundant in our solar system. See the numerous craters on worlds like the moon, Mars, and even distant Pluto.

The state-of-the-art Planetarium & Dome Theater at the U-M Museum of Natural History transports visitors beyond distant stars and back in time from the comfort of reclining seats. Tickets $8. Tickets are available on the day of the show at the Museum Store.
