Earth in Focus: Insights from Space

Expand your horizons as you explore the advantages and benefits of observing the Earth from the unique point of view of space.
Although Earth looks like a little blue marble when photographed from space, it looms large when it comes to space-based technologies. In this breathtaking exhibition, your visitors will learn about the many benefits our presence in space has on our spectacular and fragile planet. Satellites and other technologies make it possible to study and monitor Earth’s changing systems, while also exploring how data collected from space is helping us to respond to global challenges such as feeding the world and keeping us safe from dangers such as forest fires and extreme weather.
