Hubble Telescope exhibit
at Science Center
Since April 1990, the world has been amazed by the magnificent deep space images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, a 45-foot-long telescope satellite orbiting above the Earth's atmosphere.
Carnegie Science Center visitors will experience these Hubble images in the exhibit "Hubble Space Telescope: New Views of the Universe," which will be there through Jan. 12.
Featuring dozens of high-resolution, back-lit images of planets, galaxies, black holes and other cosmic entities captured by the Hubble, the exhibit includes interactive displays that allow visitors to delve into the deep space images. Using an infrared camera, visitors also will learn about light wavelengths and the valuable information about stars expressed by the light they emit.

It will be a 180-degree turn from all-male theatrical world of Shakespeare's day. "Much Ado About Nothing" spotlights a battle of wits between sharp-tongued Benedick and the clever Beatrice set against the impending marriage of Claudio and Hero and the villainy of the irredeemable Don John.
Showtimes are 8 p.m. today and Saturday and Thursday. It also will be staged Nov. 21-22.
