What is space really like? What is out there, and will humans ever really be able to thrive beyond earth’s atmosphere? Through hands-on interactives, explore how light, weight and sound work, and what scientists have learned–from the discoveries in the Milky Way to the conditions in deep space.

Experiment with tools like infrared and see how recent experiments with non-human living organisms have evolved our understanding of what it would take to live somewhere other than Earth. Humans have long looked to the sky with interest and fascination. As advancements in science and technology have allowed us to observe more, explore more, and discover more, our understanding of the universe–and our place in it–continues to evolve.
