The bargains just keep on coming at warp speed from the Arizona Science Center.

Last week it was free admission (courtesy of Fry’s Marketplace). This weekend, among a full slate of Astronomy Day 2009 events, the Dorrance Planetarium will offer free shows midnight Saturday to 10 a.m. Sunday.

Internationally known physicist Lawrence Krauss (pictured), author of the bestselling book The Physics of Star Trek, will use the fictional Federation universe as a launching pad to explain modern physics to the rest of us. Krauss’ lecture, 12:30 p.m. Sunday, is free with paid admission to the science center.

Red alert! Sunday is also the final day of the traveling Star Trek: The Exhibition.

The Arizona Science Center is located at 600 E. Washington St. in downtown Phoenix.
