SB Museum of Natural History Launches “Our Cosmic Coast”
The Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History invites the public to journey beyond our atmosphere with the debut of Our Cosmic Coast, a brand-new, hands-on Space Sciences exhibit that opened July 12 and continues. The all-ages exhibit has experiential play stations demonstrating the sounds of space and a chance to view meteorites older than Earth’s oldest rocks. Scale models of the planets convey the striking contrast in size between the rocky planets closer to the Sun and the more distant giants of gas and ice.
