Frozen: Cold Matters
"Frozen" showcases the global cryosphere, those places on Earth where temperatures don't generally rise above water's freezing point.
-
Largest
LARGEST examines the gas giant of Jupiter like a work of art, like a destination of celestial wonder.
-
Science On a Sphere
Science On a Sphere is an innovative projection system, developed by NOAA, that allows video to be shown on a 6-foot-diameter globe.
-
'Footprints' and Science On a Sphere
Our planet is not flat, so why should a movie about it be? "Footprints" is a film projected onto the spherical screen of Science On a Sphere.
-
Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter
The primary objective of LRO is to conduct investigations that prepare for future lunar exploration. Specifically LRO will scout for safe and compelling landing sites, locate potential resources (with special attention to the possibility of water ice) and characterize the effects of prolonged exposure to the lunar radiation environment. In addition to its exploration mission, LRO will also return rich scientific data that will help us to better understand the moon’s topography and composition.

Hubble Space Telescope: New Views of the Universe
The "New Views of the Universe" exhibit contains Hubble images of planets, galaxies, black holes and many other fascinating cosmic phenomena.
-
Beyond Hubble: The James Webb Space Telescope
The launch of the James Webb Space Telescope no earlier than 2014 will be a giant step forward in the quest to understand our place in space. JWST will find the first galaxies that formed in the early universe, connecting the Big Bang to our own Milky Way Galaxy. It will peer through dusty clouds to see forming planetary systems, connecting the Milky Way to our own solar system.
-
Bringing the Universe Down to Earth
Learn about cosmology and the science that led to John Mather's Nobel Prize in 2006. Explore black holes and the technology we are developing to unlock the mysteries of the universe. See why we send telescopes into space and the different types of careers in space science.
-
Expansive Changes: Understanding Ice Through ICESat
Lunched in 2003, ICESat is an Earth-observing NASA mission that addresses some of the most critical issues in Earth science today. ICESat measures ice sheet mass, cloud and aerosol heights, as well as land topography and vegetation characteristics.
-
Space Operations Learning Center
