Visit Saturn at Colgate's Visualization Lab

The Ho Tung Visualization Lab at Colgate kicks off the Fall semester with Saturn: Jewel of the Heavens on Tuesdays and Fridays at 6 p.m.

Admission is free. Space is limited so reservations recommended. RSVP online at www.colgate.edu/vislab/ and click on the Saturn poster to reserve your seat or call 228-6125.

Once a planet of great mystery, now we know more than ever before about Saturn's amazing system of rings, moons, and storms thanks to modern robotic space pioneers. From its bizarre moons with mysterious features, to the millions of icy particles that compose the enigmatic rings, this is the three-dimensional tour of the Saturnian system that goes beyond the CG experience - It's like flying piggyback on the Cassini spacecraft.

The Ho Tung Visualization Lab is located on the Colgate Campus in the Ho Science Center, room 401. Each show is one hour in length which includes a tour of our night sky.

The lab also provide free shows & science programs to school groups.

Contact Joe Eakin for more details at 228-6125.
