NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) is an active space mission now operating in space, studying the vast, invisible bubble created by the Sun that surrounds and protects Earth and other planets in our solar system. This region, called the heliosphere, shields Earth from harmful cosmic radiation and plays a vital role in shaping space weather that can affect satellites, astronauts, and the technology we rely on every day.

Through hands-on activities and special presentations, visitors will explore how the IMAP mission is mapping the distant boundary where our solar system meets interstellar space, billions of miles away.

All IMAP activities are included with regular science center admission of $11 - $27
