Discover Exoplanets covers top-
ics such as the search for habitable
worlds beyond our Solar System,
how NASA scientists are searching
for these worlds, and how they may
be like our own.
Two diff erent versions of the ex-
hibit will be on display at the Cottage
Grove Public Library and the Eugene
Science Center from Jan. 30 to April

Getting people interested in sci-
ence can be a challenge, but Discov-
er Exoplanets strives to make it fun
with hands-on, multimedia activities
where visitors can build their own
solar sys-tems, see the most recent
NASA discoveries, and learn about
whether popular TV and movies
feature “Science Fact or Science Fic-
tion.”
