From Atomic Labs to Launch Pads

The Cincinnati Observatory's 2025 exhibit celebrates Ohio's legacy in space exploration. It highlights Ohio's vital role during the dawn of the space age, as well as its legacy in rocketry, innovation and discovery. An interactive portion of the exhibit challenges children to design their own space vehicles using Lego and other materials.




The timeline of space exploration extends across the bottom of all 4 display cases, with the path of the rocket ship connecting them.
