"Cosmic Questions: Our Place in Space and Time" is a 5,000-square-foot traveling exhibit that answers such questions as: What is the universe like? Was there a beginning to time? How do we fit into the cosmos? The exhibit invites visitors to explore their own connections to the universe; find out the latest on unsolved mysteries, such as black holes and the existence of extraterrestrial life; and discover what it's like to be an astronomer uncovering clues from the cosmos hidden in the faint light of distant galaxies. The result is a highly visitor-friendly exhibition about an extremely complex and difficult subject.
