The views of the solar system that one can see while standing here on Earth are often impressive, if not mind-blowing. But from the inner solar system to its outer reaches, the closer and more detailed views of Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and the other planets that have been achieved during the Space Age show unparalleled beauty and visions difficult to fathom. This otherworldly view, collected during 40 years of robotic space missions and then processed into breathtaking images, is the subject of Beyond: Visions of Planetary Landscapes. This exhibition paints a rarely seen and mesmerizing portrait of our solar system's diverse worlds and their moons.
If you enjoyed visiting Beyond: Visions of Planetary Landscapes, you'll love the space-themed movies now playing at the EcoTarium's Alden Digital Planetarium!
Beyond: Visions of Planetary Landscapes was organized for travel by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service.
The Worcester presentation is generously sponsored by Cole Contracting.
