   A new exhibit to the Planetarium lobby at the Museum of Arts & Sciences opened on April 14, 2015, 3D Solar System: Stunning Anaglyph Images of Celestial Bodies. Grab a pair of 3D glasses and witness fascinating NASA images of Mars and various solar system bodies in the brand new Planetarium lobby. Captured by high resolution cameras, the collection of anaglyph red-cyan images are the result of numerous spacecraft and rovers that have explored far-off worlds. This exhibit is in collaboration with and sponsored by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and a Florida Space Grant. This exhibit will run through summer 2015.
