    Adventure Science Center is opening its doors to the public to a new, interactive exhibit, "Wonders of the Universe", that examines the visible and the invisible, with a hands-on, interactive exhibit that includes multi-touch technology, gaming, imaging and other media.

    Exhibit highlights include: Star Walk - an imaginary galaxy where you can experience brilliant stars in the darkness of space. - Cosmic Ray's - a unique multi-player space adventure computer game. Solar Projection Table - a five-foot-wide table projecting images of sunspots and solar flares. Infrared Wall - which converts your body's different temperatures into colors and projects them in real time. Spectrum Table - a one-of-its-kind, 100-inch multi-touch table that explores the electromagnetic spectrum by moving objects through different wavelengths from radio waves to gamma rays.

    "Wonders of the Universe," a nearly $1 million exhibit gallery, completes the Science Center's $21.4 million sky and space project. The first phase opened in June 2008 with the launch of the new Sudekum Planetarium and the first floor of the Space Chase exhibit wing.
