Beyond: Visions of Our Solar System

This exhibit at the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum, Gallery 211, features the work of Michael Benson, who has searched the extensive image archives of NASA and other planetary databases for extraordinary images of objects in our Solar System. Through skillful manipulation, Benson presents what our eyes might see if we could visit these spectacular places ourselves.

Combining art, science, photography, and exploration, Beyond presents a visual tour of these diverse landscapes. It is the first large-scale retrospective look at the legacy of robotic spacecraft over the last 50 years.

This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of Kinetikon Pictures, Inc., The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia, Washington.
