A new exhibit at the National Maritime Museum in London celebrates the beauty of space photography and its role in scientific discoveries. Up until September 15, Visions of the Universe will feature more than 100 dazzling images of space.

The exhibit takes visitors on a cosmic journey, covering everything from the earliest findings of Galileo to the latest footage from the Mars rover Curiosity. Highlights include Edwin Hubble’s breakthrough 1923 photograph, which confirmed the existence of galaxies beyond the Milky Way, and the centerpiece "Mars Window," a curved wall onto which images are projected, creating the impression of looking through a giant window out to the Martian landscape.
