The museum's Rose Center for Earth and Space at the Hayden Planetarium is a galactic spectacular

Bright green waves of laser light will ripple across the Hayden Sphere from 5 to 11 pm every evening until Sunday, November 27, to illustrate how the Hubble Space Telescope analyzes distant galaxies, quasars, and other celestial objects in the universe.
