Chabot Space Center’s black hole: Money gap prompts auction of universe for $1,000

posted in: All News | 0

The entire universe is on the auction block in Oakland. Bidding starts at $1,000.

“Dinner is included,” said the announcement.

They are selling the universe at Chabot Science and Space Center because the 137-year-old institution, closed to paying customers due to the pandemic, is in something of a financial black hole.

To dig itself out, it’s marketing a romantic dinner for two inside the planetarium. Instead of the usual 400 grammar-school kids on a field trip, it’s just you and your significant other and a roast chicken.
