On April 25, the Challenger Learning Center of Lucas County will unveil two images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope as part of the 15th anniversary celebration of the Hubble. This event will take place in the Orientation Room at 10 a.m. to coincide with the national unveiling. The ceremony will last 20 minutes, during which time an astronomer will talk about the significance of Hubble. The images will be unveiled by Kari Stausmire, a sixth grade student who led a drive to collect money to save the Hubble as a fifth grader last year at Starr Elementary. Schools, community leaders, and informal science educators will take part in the celebration. After the event, the images will be on permanent display alongside a mural of the Hubble Space Telescope that has been part of the Challenger Learning Center since the center opened in 2003.
