The Johnson Space Center recently opened its doors to the public as part of an open house event, commemorating the 65th year since NASA was formed.
On tap were interactive exhibits, discussion panels educating the public on topics such as the International Space Station, commercial flights and human research among other subjects of interest.
The event coincided with a solar eclipse, which garnered a lot of interest both on site and within the community at large. For a brief few seconds, onlookers witnessed the Moon pass between the Earth and the Sun revealing the “Ring of Fire,” formed by the Sun’s rays emanating from the sides of the much-smaller Moon’s borders.
