What's New on the Outer Planets?

What's New on the Outer Planets
An Education and Public Outreach Program funded by the Space Telescope Science Institute

 

 

"What's New on the Outer Planets?" works through the Small Museums program to bring interactive kiosk presentations centering on Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Jupiter, and Titan to smaller, local museums and planetariums. Our prototype kiosk has brought current research on these planets to the University of Wisconsin-Madison Geology Museum and Rockford's Discovery Center Museum, and will continue to travel across the Midwest.


In addition to the kiosk display, "What's New on the Outer Planets?" can provide host sites with lectures for the general public, to be presented by one or more of our team members.

These materials will also be offered to teachers and schools through other programs.
