What
makes light and can you really see everything? Our newest exhibit allows you to
explore all types of radiation, while focusing on the kind we use
every day, visible light. Explore properties of light such
as reflection, refraction, and color addition and subtraction in
our darkened Light and Color Room. The exhibit also explains how light
and telescopes are used in the study of stars. After all, we
can't visit the stars in person, so their light is the only way we
can learn about them! Through a partnership with
Michigan State University we show how their SOAR Telescope in
South America is used to study the heavens. Our popular
Shadow Wall is also located in this exhibit area.
