Take a ride in the sky. Riding on San Antonio's future Skyride down Broadway from the Airport to Downtown. Part of the "1000 Parks and A Line in the Sky / Broadway, Avenue of the Future" visualization at the Institute of Texan Cultures. I used to ride the Brackenridge Park sky ride as a child. Some day, this will be a mode of transportation for locals and tourists. Great talk with #UTSA professor Dr. Antonio Petrov for #SciTechNow on @klrntv #SanAntonio #SkyRide #InstituteOfTexanCultures #Hemisfair #Hemisfair68 #TechBloc #SA2020 #TheFuture #Future #SciTech #KLRN #PBS (at UTSA Institute of Texan Cultures)

Dark Energy

We meet an expert at the American Museum of Natural History who explains the mysterious phenomenon dark energy.

My name is Mordecai-Mark Mac Low and my position is Curator of Astrophysics. In the last century, we have learned that the universe is expanding and that the stuff is it made of is primarily not normal matter. It’s primary something we have called dark matter and something else we are calling dark energy. What do we know about dark energy?
