AstrOlympics Exhibits

This project explores the physical connections between sport and space. Brief explanations of physical concepts are compared with everyday experiences, Olympic events, and discoveries from space made with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes. By exploring the range of values for concepts such as speed, mass, time, pressure, rotation, and distance, audiences gain a deeper understanding of how all matter-in-motion is relatable.

The NASA Astrophysics community has designed exhibits for use in libraries and informal education venues. Exhibits may be downloaded and printed. Physical copies are available for rotation on a limited basis.

Details about sizing and dimensions of the exhibits can be found here.
