Experience what it means to be a scientist! MESO, the Mobile Earth + Space Observatory, is a “science center on wheels” designed to engage you with authentic science first-hand. With sunny weather, guests to the Mobile Observatory will see the sun through solar telescopes, discover the makeup of the sun through solar spectrometry and track the sun's movements using sophisticated Sungazers.
Guests will also have a chance to explore the Mobile Observatory's on-board science activities, learn about the surface of Mars and human exploration and explore the unique vehicle's history and construction. Finally, guests can enter the Mobile Observatory's outdoor classroom to learn about Einstein's theory of general relativity and how astronomers use light to learn about distant objects by exploring hands-on science learning tools such as a gravity well, infrared camera and spectroscopy gas tubes.
