Sun, Earth, Universe

In Sun, Earth, Universe, visitors can explore our planet, the solar system, and the big questions NASA is trying to answer about each. The exhibit will connect visitors with current NASA science research and launch them on a journey to explore the universe.

Build a model spacecraft, spin a tumbler of 10,000 beads (representing the stars we can see from Earth) to search for the one representing our sun. Reveal hidden images using the same tools NASA scientists employ to explore the otherwise invisible forces and energy of the universe. A bonus section of the display explores Artemis, NASA’s moon exploration program.

This exhibit is included with museum admission and can be found on the museum’s third floor in the Cooper Gallery.

The Sun, Earth, Universe exhibition was created by the National Informal STEM Education Network (NISE Network) in collaboration with NASA.
