Spacelink: Providing updates in space science and astronomy

摘要

How do science centers, which have traditionally presented basic scientific information to visitors, stay current and interpret "cutting-edge" research and explorations? This is a chaUenge faced by the Maryland Science Center - indeed many science centers - to allow visitors to experience the immediacy and excitement of scientific discovery. Because of the enormous rate of creation of new knowledge, science centers can no longer just present basic textbook science. New faster technologies and digital data-driven visualizations are helping to drive these discoveries and breakthroughs. Part media center, part discovery room, and part newsroom, SpaceLink brings its visitors the "latest and greatest" in space science and astronomy.
