Cullman Hall of the Universe

Astrobulletin and EcosphereDivided into four zones that illuminate the processes that led to the creation of planets, stars, galaxies, and the universe, the Hall draws from common forms found in the cosmos, such as the sphere and the spiral. Six exhibits that rise up from the floor use kinetic models, three-dimensional visualizations, floating astronomical imagery, computer interactives, and more to illustrate the nature and evolution of celestial bodies. "Frontiers of Our Knowledge" provides a video interactive where the questions facing research astrophysicists are stated and answered by the researchers themselves.

Visitors can step on several digital scales located in different areas of the Hall of the Universe and discover their weight on Saturn, Jupiter, a neutron star, and the Sun, among other celestial bodies. Your lunar weight can be found on the first level beside a model of the Moon.
