Astronomical images are objects of beauty, art, culture, and, of course, science. The grandeur of popular images of the cosmos is captivating, and their allure also presents an opportunity to learn the science behind them. Objects relating to the exploration of space on loan from NASA’s Johnson Space Center, including an Apollo era spacesuit, will also be available for viewing, along with a variety of telescopes, meteorite specimens, and more.
