Man, I wish someone had told us about this sooner but we just stumbled upon it.

Tonight, the Science Museum of Virginia is holding a “Science After Dark” event featuring access to telescopes with guidance from Richmond Astronomical Society members, a look at how closely predictions about the future come to our current space technologies in a special presentation at 6:30, and finally a presentation of 2001: A Space Odyssey in The Dome at 8:30 pm.

And the best part?! It’s FREE!

This sounds incredibly nerdy and awesome and we should all go.
