From the distant Zorthon galaxy our two space explorers, Furg and Wox, along with their trusted info-bot, Dinger, try to avoid the clutches of their rival, the dreaded Kangzor! Join the adventure as the trio learn about our Solar System while they attempt to avoid their pursuer. This show is age appropriate for children from preschool through grade 3 and their families.

Emphasizing research currently underway at CERN, Relics of the Big Bang illustrates the monumental scale of a project that extends from Geneva, Switzerland to East Lansing, Michigan. Along the way, the audience is invited to take a closer look at the Large Hadron Collider, the ATLAS detector, and to learn more about dark matter, the Higgs particle, and other fascinating physical mysteries. This show was created by students and staff here at Michigan State University.
