Current Exhibitions

Friday, June 18-Monday, September 6, 2010

This exhibition is a set of 20 posters that features images and text from the popular museum exhibition of the same name. The poster exhibit presents large color reproductions of images captured by high-tech satellites constantly circling the globe, recording conditions and events that are nearly impossible to document on the planet’s surface. A collaboration with geographer and curator Andrew Johnston at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum’s (NASM) Center for Earth and Planetary Studies, the traveling exhibit won a 2007 U.S. Geological Survey communications award for science content. The poster exhibit was produced by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service in collaboration with the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum and made possible by the U.S. Geological Survey.
