Aliens and Androids at Discovery Place


“Are we alone?” Scientists are close to discovering new alien worlds and alien life on exoplanets – planets that exist outside the solar system.



The new exhibition at #DiscoveryPlace in Charlotte NC explores the possibility of life existing beyond earth. Fascinating to say the least. Some of us believe without a doubt that there is and some of us could never accept the idea.

However you may view this subject, much-debated down through the centuries, this exhibit leaves me impressed by how much science really knows about our universe.

  Discover the difference between robots and androids, and get an up-close look at famous sci-fi robots from movies, such as Iron Man, the T-800 from Terminator, C-3PO from Star Wars and more.

The exhibit brings to mind the old time Buck Rogers comic books that depicted space travel with space ships and suits complete with space talk and walk. Phillip Francis Nowlan, the Buck Rogers creator, somehow knew about alien life way back when. After Steven Spielberg’s “Encounters of the Third Kind” I began to really wonder. 

The exhibit will be at Discovery Place through September 14, 2014. For more information, call 704 372 6261 or visit discoveryplace.org
