Glow:
Living Lights
October 2, 2004 - January 2, 2005
Virginia Marine Science Museum
Virginia Beach, Virginia
Glow: Living Lights is the first-ever museum exhibition
to explore the phenomenon of bioluminescence–an organism's
ability to produce its own light.
Science Center visitors will explore the world of light-producing
terrestrial organisms like fireflies, glow worms, and fungi
before traveling on to the mid-ocean, where an estimated
90% of the animals produce light. Here they’ll encounter
alien-looking creatures and discover the ways in which they
use their abilities to glow to defend themselves and attract
prey.
Visitors will also see demonstrations of the techniques
and equipment used by scientists to study bioluminescence,
and then explore the many benefits of this research—from
helping to speed the study of cancer-fighting drugs to the
detection of anthrax spores in public places.
The Office of Naval Research is a sponsor of this traveling
exhibition.
