Destination Universe

Take a journey from our Sun to the farthest reaches of the cosmos! Along the way, you'll see where stars are born, how they die, meet nebulae of all kinds, and travel to distant galaxies. Experience the Origins Theater; crawl into a black hole; see what happens when galaxies collide; and view stunning space images!


Visit the Origins Theater to hear stories about the formation of the Universe from Chinese, Egyptian, and Native American mythology.  And learn about the Big Bang, our current scientific understanding of how the Universe began.


Puzzle out the history of the Universe, from the Big Bang to the present. Where does life on Earth, and human history, fit in?


Nebulae are giant clouds of dust and gas in space -- but they're often brightly colored like neon lights! See what happens when light passes through nebula dust, and find out what causes the dark areas and brilliant colors visible in some nebulae.


Get a unique view of galaxies, stars, and nebulae through the Hubble Kaleidoscope.
