November 5—Electrifying Science with Dr. Megavolt
Blow your mind with the electrifying science of Tesla coils and Austin Richards, Ph.D.—aka Dr. MegaVolt. Part of the Exploratorium's 40th Anniversary celebration, this After Dark event will feature Dr. Megavolt jousting with 14-ft. electrical arcs from his high voltage Tesla Coil on the evening of Thursday, November 5, 2009.

December 3—Fire and Ice
When the temperature outside starts dropping, the Exploratorium will be heating up and chilling out with Fire and Ice, its December After Dark event, featuring fire sculptures, ice sculptures, and more. Join in for fun at both ends of the thermostat. Enjoy cocktails on ice, sizzling tunes, and stunning displays and explorations of fire, ice, heat, and cold. The evening will feature works of fire art, including the Pyrograph, by Earl Stirling; a revved-up chain-saw ice sculpture by award-winning sculptor David Fong; and hovering between these two extremes, Fog Pool, by Charles Sowers, among others.
