This exhibit shows that asking questions and working in teams are important to NASA\u2019s exploration of the universe. Visitors can use all of their senses to explore the origins of all planets, the variety of bodies in the solar system, and the boundaries of life. Visitors can study rocks from space, use their sense of smell to identify solar system objects, and use computer modeling to build exoplanets (planets orbiting stars beyond our Sun).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Space Communications and Navigation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-fit \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/img-3907.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"479\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/img-3907.jpg?w=479\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"A photo of a museum exhibit, showing a tall black box with screens displaying information about space communications and navigation, with photos of Earth and text on the sides.
