Gravity

Presentation by Mike Carlin

Join us at Oxbow park for an entertaining and interactive presentation on gravity. Gravity is everywhere. Gravity pulls on virtually all objects in the universe, from the smallest particles to the largest galaxies. Come join the fun with several hands-on activities to see things obey—and sometimes defy—gravity.

Mike Carlin is an IT professional. Mike is interested in space exploration, 3D printing, astronomy and more. He has several telescopes and digital cameras. He is passionate about astrophotography and he is an active member of the Rochester Astronomy Club.
