In turning his telescope to the heavens in 1609, Galileo Galilei embarked upon a journey that would revolutionize science and culture alike, profoundly changing our view of our place in the universe. In celebration of this achievement and the International Year of Astronomy (IYA), the Space Telescope Science Institute produced the "Visions of the Universe: Four Centuries of Discovery” exhibit in partnership with the American Library Association. The "Visions of the Universe” exhibit shows how humanity's views and understanding of the universe have changed over the past four hundred years, and addresses topics such as storms on the sun, Saturn's rings, the nature of comets, star birth, and distant galaxies. As part of its evaluation program, STScI's Office of Public Outreach has been conducting an evaluation of the exhibit to determine its effectiveness in meeting the needs of libraries across the United States. This poster will highlight data collected from libraries and preliminary findings.
