Curious about the research happening a mile underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility? Have a question about neutrinos, dark matter or extremophiles, but you’ve never known who to ask? This is your opportunity to ask a SURF scientist your questions about research happening deep underground!

Join us for "Ask a Scientist" to discover more about America's deepest underground science laboratory! This session features Gavin Cox, a research scientist at SURF, who is working on the LZ experiment—the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector.

Join Dr. Stephen Sekula, Research Group Manager at SNOLAB, for this Deep Talks event on Supernova!

168,000 years ago, very close to our home galaxy, a massive star exploded. On February 23, 1987, the first signs of this catastrophe reached earth. This event was a turning point in astronomy, a moment that helped shift the field from what we can see (light) to all the things we cannot see. These invisible messengers can penetrate entire stars, cross undeflected through vast expanses of space, and reach Earth in countless numbers. They are frustrating to detect but are too important to ignore. We'll explore how these messengers tell us about our own Sun and how the visible deaths of distant stars can be forecast by a global network of early warning systems based on the lessons learned from 1987.

The Deep Talks lecture series is sponsored by Crow Peak Brewing Company, Edward Jones Financial Advisor – Chris Mitchell, RCS Construction, and Charles & Jolene Lichtenwalner.

The Metamorphosis Exhibition showcases 15 murals created by students in JSC and the juvenile diversion program as part of the Just Us Mural Project (JUMP). Supported by a U.S. Department of Justice grant, this initiative empowers justice-involved youth through culturally relevant arts education.
​
With the freedom of expression, youth from Rapid City have been collaborating on murals both on canvas and in Art Alley. These students have been building artistic skills, processing trauma, and developing compassion for their past to dream of their future.

On display from March 7 through May 31, the exhibition highlights the transformative power of art in creating resilience and fostering positive change.

This event is FREE and open to the public!
