Brown Planetarium! For over 400 years, humans have studied the cosmos through telescopes anchored to the ground. That changed with the rise of spaceflight; only in the last 50 years have telescopes escaped the Earth's atmosphere entirely and opened a new window on the universe. Join us for a talk from two NASA astrophysicists on the space telescopes of yesterday, today, and tomorrow—from Hubble's nearly four decades of discovery to James Webb, Nancy Grace Roman, and more. Learn about some of their most striking discoveries and what the future holds. Duration: approximately 1 hour Recommended for ages 9 and older https://www.apsva.us/planetarium/ © 2024, Friends of Arlington's David M. Brown Planetarium P. O.
