Exhibition Tour
The Adler Planetarium is partnering with O'Hare International Airport to present From Earth to the Universe, a collection of astronomical images that will showcase dramatic views of our Universe.
The images represent the incredible variety of astronomical objects that are known to exist - planets, comets, stars, nebulae, galaxies and the clusters in which they congregate - and will be exhibited in numerous locations throughout the world in 2009. There are two versions of the Chicago exhibition, each containing approximately 50 images. At both Midway and O’Hare the images are on display in the pedestrian walkway connecting the CTA stations to the airports. In addition to the images seen across the world these exhibitions feature images captured or created by astronomers from the Adler and the University of Chicago.
The exhibition also offers something more for the technologically-savvy traveler. Viewers with a smartphone can take a picture of a bar code posted on each image and pull up more information about the featured celestial body. Before you travel download the reader app. For more information, visit the From Earth to the Universe website.
