The library has been chosen as one of 40 public libraries to host the traveling exhibit "Visions of the Universe: Four Centuries of Discovery". This NASA-funded exhibit celebrates the achievements of astronomy over the centuries using dramatic images of planets, stars, and galaxies from the Hubble Space Telescope and other NASA missions.
The exhibit covers many topics related to the exploration of the universe, from storms on the sun to features on the surface of Mars and the Moon, comets, star birth, and distant galaxies.
"Visions of the Universe" is presented by the Space Telescope Science Institute, Baltimore, Maryland, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the American Library Association, Chicago, Illinois, through funding from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
