Don't miss the special exhibit Eyes on Earth at the Virginia Museum of Natural History from October 2, 2010 to January 9, 2011.
Eyes on Earth is a highly interactive science exhibition produced and developed by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) that focuses on the EOS and examines how satellite observations are made and what we can learn about the Earth using space technology. Designed primarily for families and school groups (upper elementary through adults), visitors learn what a satellite is, discover the different types of orbits, and explore cutting-edge technology similar to that used by EOS scientists. Eyes on Earth brings these concepts "down to earth" through a combination of fun, accessible interactives in a playful and "spacey" environment. The exhibit explores three major areas: Satellites, Orbits, and Satellite Technology.
