| | The Museum's new OmniGlobe is a 60-inch diameter sphere that allows viewers to see patterns and trends in our planet's natural and political landscape. Study tectonic plate movement or view recent weather graphics showing systems from around the globe.
NEW: Our design team developed a graphic image of the Japanese Tsunami and its global reach, which is now visible on the OmniGlobe – take a look!
The OmniGlobe also has features that take you to the surface of each planet in our solar system! Explore the sands of Mars or the clouds of Jupiter ... from our gallery in St. Johnsbury!
This dynamic and fascinating tool is used by our educators to demonstarte global systems and how they are related to what we experience locally.
The OmniGlobe arrived at the Museum in 2010. Our team of educators and scientists are working on new animations to present. Let us know what interests you about the forces around the globe.
In the gallery next to the OmniGlobe, we invite visitors to take a closer look at the planets in our solar system through ViewSpace.
ViewSpace is an internet-fed, self-updating, permanent exhibit from the Space Telescope Science Institute, home of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and its successor, the James Webb Space Telescope. It features an ever-changing kaleidoscope of inspiring and educational presentations of the latest and most beautiful in astronomy and space-based earth science through beautiful, high resolution images, digital movies and animations.
ViewSpace includes:
