NASA has been at the head of space exploration and technology since the early 1960s. Nowadays, they are not flying to the moon and back as often, but they are offering amazing and insightful opportunities for all ages, especially those interested in space.
Discovery Days was started in 2011 and takes place in Ohio due to its importance in space exploration and aeronautics advancements that have brought humanity to where it is today.
Discovery Days takes place from September 12-13 at the Great Lakes Science Center. During this event, people, businesses, and institutions will be recognized for their incredible work and the betterment of the world, from the Glenn Research Center to the birth of the Wright brothers and everything that has followed.
NASA astronaut Sunita “Suni” Williams will hold a special presentation at 11:00 a.m. on September 12 to begin Discovery Days at the Great Lakes Science Center’s Dome Theater. This special presentation is available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Discovery Days is a great opportunity to learn and explore space life. There will also be meet-and-greets with many important figures, such as NASA astronauts and engineers. Additionally, below are some other highlights for this annual tradition.
