Explore the Universe

史密森国家航空航天博物馆（NASM）将开发并安装一个重要的新的永久性展览，“探索宇宙”，它展示了随着我们用来研究宇宙的工具的发展，对宇宙的理解是如何随着时间的推移而变化的。该展览利用精选的文物、工作模型、图像、互动视频和计算机程序、动手展览和现场演示来探索科学家对宇宙的看法，以及他们如何使用地面和空间技术来研究宇宙。展览将涵盖电磁频谱的所有领域，并提供天体物理学和宇宙学科学的历史视角和现代经验的融合。目的是传达宇宙的壮丽和科学家们为理解它所做的努力。将开发一个附带的网站，其中包含该展览的图像、文字和计算机互动内容，以及一个虚拟的画廊之旅。此外，还将为前来参观的教师、学生、家庭准备教育材料，并制定参观者、教师研修班、实习等补充教育项目。该项目由数学和物理科学理事会天文科学司、物理司和多学科活动办公室提供资金

PI: David DeVorkinInst: Smithsonian InstitutionAST-0083463The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum (NASM) will develop and install a major new permanent exhibit, Explore the Universe, which shows how understanding of the Universe has changed over time as the tools we use to study it have evolved. The exhibition makes use of a selection of artifacts, working models, images, interactive videos and computer programs, hands-on exhibits, and live demonstrations to explore scientists' view of the Universe as well as how they use ground- and space-based technology to study it. The exhibit will cover all regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, and offer a blend of historic perspective and modern experience with the science of astrophysics and cosmology. The goal is to communicate both the magnificence of the Universe and the efforts of scientists to understand it. An accompanying web site will be developed that contains the images, text, and computer interactives of the exhibit, and a virtual tour of the gallery. Educational materials will be prepared for teachers, students, and families visiting the exhibit, and a supplemental educational program of visitors, workshops for teachers, and internship programs will be created.Funding for this project is provided by the Division of Astronomical Sciences, the Division of Physics, and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.***
