Rose Center for Earth and Space. Scales of the Universe (Exhibit)

Exist Dates
2000 - present
Abstract
Permanent exhibition. Opened February 19, 2000. Located on Floor 2, Section 18. The Rose Center for Earth and Space's Scales of the Universe at the American Museum of Natural History is displayed along the 400-foot walkway that hugs the glass cube wall of the Rose Center and surrounds the 87-foot-diameter Hayden Sphere. The exhibition explores the vast scale of the cosmos. Stations introduce visitors to increments by the power of 10 to relative sizes of atoms, planets, stars, and galaxies using panels with texts, interactives, rail-mounted models, and models of planets, stars, and galaxies suspended from the ceiling with the Hayden Sphere serving as a central reference for relative sizes. The exhibit features realistically rendered planets including a 9-foot diameter model of Jupiter and a model of Saturn with rings 17 feet in diameter (1, 2001, p. 39; 2; 3, 2000, p. 14).
