Hubble Space Telescope:
New Views of the Universe

Fourth Floor Gallery,
EXTENDED through September 30

This interactive, multi-media traveling exhibition highlights the Hubble Space Telescope’s contributions to astronomy.  Visitors will find out what makes Hubble unique, and how it sends home dazzling images from space.  Sections of the exhibition show what Hubble has revealed about planets in our solar system, stars far beyond the Sun, and galaxies beyond the Milky Way.  Visitors will also learn how Hubble enables us to look back in time toward the beginnings of the Universe.  The exhibition concludes with a look at plans for the next generation of telescopes after Hubble.  Made possible in part by a grant from the Jeremiah Kaplan Foundation and support from the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts.
