Whether you are flying to another city or arriving home, a can’t-miss exhibit near Washington, D.C., will put you in a state of awe — and inspire you to learn more about the universe.
Want to unwind while you are traveling to or from Dulles International Airport in Virginia? Prepare to be transported, both literally and figuratively, as you walk down the hall that connects the Metro stop and Parking Garage 1 to the main terminal, where almost 40 large-scale images from the James Webb Space Telescope are now on display. The telescope’s vivid infrared light images show expansive scenes of our universe, from galaxies and star-forming regions to dying stars and distant planets.
In the same hall, you will also find over 30 equally immersive images from the Hubble Space Telescope — and yes, we recommend taking in both. These exhibits, developed by the Office of Public Outreach at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, show the breadth and depth of Webb’s scientific discoveries since its full science operations began in July 2022. The long-term exhibits will be up until at least the end of this decade, so make a mental note to "walk through space" when you’re on site.
