Exhibit Summary: Wonders of Science

Take a look at recent research helping to unravel some of the greatest mysteries of the universe. See how scientists, studying phenomena at every scale, are finding that the rules governing the structure and behavior of atoms also govern the structure and behavior of stars and galaxies. An introductory film highlights one of the key questions currently inspiring some of the most interesting and amazing discoveries today: What is the universe made of?

Nearby, interactive kiosks offer more in-depth information on the film’s concepts, such as dark matter, dark energy, and the shared properties of all things. Visitors can manipulate satellite-based images of the Earth’s lights at night and view an animation of DNA replication.
