Whether
light is gathered from the night skies in giant telescopes, or
being transformed into food by our forests, it is a vital part
of
our world. Like light, Science illuminates our lives, it peers into
dark corners and helps us learn about our world!

has circled our planet hundreds of times and conducted history-making
space walks for surgical repairs on the orbiting Hubble telescope. As
deputy director of the Hubble Space Telescope Science Institute,
Grunsfeld is among the first to experience the dazzling complexity of
cosmic chaos occurring in space. He’ll be sharing Hubble’s expansive
collection of spectacular images such as star births in the extreme,
sheets of debris, shredded remains of old supernovas and light echoing
from supergiant stars!
