Travel the solar system and beyond—stopping off at each planet
along the way to explore. Using images from the Hubble Space Telescope,
this exhibit helps visitors learn how stars are born, discover what
happens when galaxies collide, and peer deep into the origins of
the universe. You can even make your own star!
Outer Space Place is home to the Hubble Space Telescope National
Visitor Center and the remarkable images collected by this orbiting
observatory are on display throughout the gallery. Learn how Hubble
has helped prove the existence of black holes. See star nurseries,
amazing nebula, images of red giants and white dwarfs, supernova
and much more.
Stand in front of an enormous mirror—a replica of the ones
Hubble uses to gather imagery and learn how light is the secret
to Hubble's success!
