On October 3rd, 2009, the WVHS Planetarium debuted a new exhibit called 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.

Breathtaking views of the cosmos forever alter our understanding of space and our place in it. ViewSpace allows visitors to experience celestial exploration through images from NASA’s science missions.
