Join researchers from Washington University in St. Louis as they share their journeys into the immense, dynamic universe.
What do we know about the vast expanses of space beyond Earth's atmosphere, and what is left to discover? At Washington University in St. Louis, scientists turn their gazes to the great beyond - sometimes without even leaving their laboratories. What is "astronomy through a miscroscope"? What can a huge balloon above Antarctica help reveal about the origins of cosmic rays? What questions remain unanswered about our own Moon? Join researchers as they share their journeys into the immense, dynamic universe.
