What if you could stand in a hallway in a huge building in New York City and feel as if you\u2019re in the center of the universe?<\/p>\n

Well, you can. \u201cEyes on the Universe: Images from Space Telescopes<\/a>,\u201d at the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan, is a jewel box exhibition of 14 photographs of supernovas, planets, galaxies and other astrophysical objects captured by three telescopes operating in space. It opened earlier this year and will run indefinitely.<\/p>\n

It couldn\u2019t be more timely. When two NASA astronauts splashed down in March after unexpectedly spending nine months \u2014 instead of one week \u2014 on the International Space Station, the public was transfixed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

\n

And with the growth of private space companies, space tourism might be within reach, at least for the ultrawealthy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The introductory photograph just outside the exhibition \u2014 more than five feet across \u2014- shows a visualization of data from the Milky Way galaxy that looks something like a wispy outline of a mountain range illuminated in the dark. It was taken by the Gaia telescope<\/a>, which was launched in 2013 by the European Space Agency and completed its mission in March.<\/p>\n
