After Dark: Evidence

Is seeing believing? Data and observation begin to tell scientific stories, but it takes a keen interpreter to make sense of the evidence at hand. Tonight, get curious about how we know what we know. Join us for the opening of the temporary exhibition Einstein Was Right, which explores how Lick Observatory proved Einstein’s theory of relativity using a total solar eclipse. And commemorate the day the world was saved from nuclear annihilation thanks to a good understanding of bad data.
