A recent visit to the Everhart Museum in Scranton offered the chance to experience Hubble Space Telescope: New Views of the Universe, a traveling exhibition that brings one of humanity’s greatest scientific achievements into focus. From the moment visitors enter, a large-scale model of the Hubble Space Telescope sets the stage. Interactive elements encourage guests to slow down, engage and explore the science behind the mission.
The exhibition highlights some of the most breathtaking images Hubble has captured. Glowing galaxies, distant planets and massive cosmic formations feel almost unreal, yet each image tells a true story about the universe. These visuals are paired with clear explanations that help make complex science approachable for all ages.
Visitors also get a behind-the-scenes look at how the telescope works. Displays explain the specialized instruments that make these discoveries possible, along with the challenges astronauts face when repairing and servicing the observatory in space. The experience rewards curiosity and invites deeper appreciation for the teamwork and innovation behind every image.
Hubble Space Telescope: New Views of the Universe runs from January 14 through July 31, 2026. The exhibition is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
While visiting, guests can also explore other Everhart Museum exhibitions. The Office Exhibition features original props, interactive experiences and a nostalgic walk through all nine seasons of the show. Scranton to Scale: Don Clark’s Miniature Memories showcases detailed miniature scenes inspired by Scranton’s past.
For anyone looking for something inspiring to do in Scranton, this exhibition delivers a powerful blend of science, storytelling and wonder.
