For nearly 20 years, the Hubble Space Telescope has been our window onto the cosmos, providing scientists with unparalleled views of Earth’s celestial neighborhood and extraordinary images of galaxies billions of light years away. Now, the dazzling IMAX film Hubble, which takes viewers on a Hubble servicing mission with the crew of Atlantis STS-125, comes to the big screen at the American Museum of Natural History’s Samuel J. and Ethel LeFrak Theater.

Narrated by Leonard DiCaprio, this stunning 43-minute feature lets audiences accompany space-walking astronauts as they attempt some of the most difficult tasks in NASA’s history in addition to experiencing firsthand Hubble’s striking images from the heart of the Orion Nebula and the Milky Way galaxy.
