Stargazing, soccer-playing robots come to Brooklyn for World Science Festival
The World Science Festival — which will include dozens of events throughout New York City — is set to return to Brooklyn this weekend. The annual festival allows participants to mix it up with leading scientists, thinkers and artists.
This celebration of science includes theatrical works, musical performances, lectures and outdoor events in parks, museums and performing arts venues.
In Brooklyn, “Night Lights, Big City: Stargazing” — which includes live music, stargazing and opportunities to meet astronomers and astronauts — will take place on Saturday, June 4 from 7 to 11 p.m. at Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 1. The event is free, and attendees can peer through world-class telescopes or bring their own.
