While most of planet earth has been investigated and mapped by generations of explorers, the frontiers of outer space still provide fertile ground for discovery. Images from spacecraft like the Hubble Space Telescope enhance our understanding of the universe every day. Now you can get in touch with these very latest discoveries in astronomy through ViewSpace, a multimedia program projected on the Montshire's "big screen."

If your parents never let you break open your Etch A Sketch to find out how it works, or if you've been wondering how to stop your toddler's push toy from making such an infernal racket, you'll love Toys: The Inside Story.
