Join the Cosmograph exhibit's creative team Design Earth for an engaging talk and treasure hunt in the MIT Museum's Martin J. (1959) and Eleanor C. Gruber Gallery.


Through a group of evocative objects and beautiful drawings, the designers ask: What are we going to do about space junk and extraterrestrial mining? What can we learn from Halley's Comet and its next appearance in 2062? Are technological solutions to climate change really possible or desirable? A lively discussion will be followed by instructions for a treasure hunt to locate stories told through miniature objects and drawings in the gallery.
