Knacke's presentation continues the Open House Nights in Astronomy Series, which take place in room 101 of the Otto Behrend Science Building. The series is free and open to the public. While many people tend to think of space as an inert background to stars and galaxies, space is actually a dynamic part of the universe that bends, expands. contracts. and even wiggles. In fact, ever since the uni verse began, space has been expand ing and making the universe ever larger and emptier. Astronomers like Knacks are trying to determine if this expansion will last fore \ er, or if some day the process will reverse. Knacke will also discuss new findings by the Hubble space tele scope and other ground-based tele scopes that suggest black holes in the centers of galaxies. Knacke is a Professor of phys ics and Director of the Behrend School of Science. He is a NASA funded scientist who has written ex tensively in the fields of planetary science, interstellar matter, and star and planet formation. Knacke's lecture is intended for a non-technical audience and is suit able for ages 8 and up. Astronomical observing will take place following the lecture, weather permitting.
