Since their initial discovery 30 years ago, exoplanets have revolutionized our ideas of what other solar systems are like. From worlds that rain glass to potential water worlds, recent findings keep surprising scientists. Join NASA Solar System Ambassador Krissie Cook to explore how next-generation instruments like the James Webb Space Telescope are making groundbreaking discoveries about far-off solar systems, and what the latest findings from spacecraft in our solar system are teaching us about the planets and moons closer to home. With new images and data released weekly, you'll stay on the cutting edge of the latest science coming from space. Experience this tour of alien worlds in the startling clarity and detail of the Museum’s state-of-the-art planetarium.
