A special photography show curated by NASA and titled From Earth to the Solar System will be held Sunday through July 15 at the Bellefonte Museum for Centre County.

The show will include 30 large photos of the universe and the Earth from space.

The show was put together by NASA to celebrate progress in space exploration including the search for life in other worlds, said Patricia House, director of the Bellefonte Museum, when she announced the show.

The opening on Sunday will include a reception done by the museums volunteer hospitality group, free art lessons for kids (by local artist Denise Wagner) and giveaways from NASA. Perhaps most exciting will be the opportunity to chat with scientists from NASA. Scientists will talk informally about the images and answer questions.

The Bellefonte Museum was selected as part of the NASA Outreach Program to bring the spectacular collection to rural areas. The show will be offered during special hours: Thursdays through Sundays, 1 to 4:30 p.m., and by appointment for groups.
