Who are our celestial neighbors? Join a Museum guide for an extensive tour of the Rose Center for Earth and Space’s 400-foot-long Scales of the Universe walkway. See the most distant edges of the universe and the smallest components of matter. Learn how many galaxies there are, how Pluto is different from our other solar system neighbors, the size of a single atom, and how a giant asteroid created a 100-mile crater and may have doomed the dinosaurs.
Discover the Museum's beloved icons, go behind the scenes to learn about scientific collections, or experience the halls from a new perspective in one of the many tours available at the Museum. Special tours for the visually- and hearing-impaired are also available.
