What will students see at your exhibit?

Why is it useful?

The study of the Universe is at the heart of human curiosity. By learning about the Universe (How it all started? How did it evolve to become what it is today? Where is it all going? Are we alone?), we can answer some of the more fundamental questions ever asked by humans.
