Visit Outerspace in Peoria

[newstech]

Whaaat! First I have to move to Hong Kong to get the speed that I need, a 1GB High Speed Internet Access, now I have to be in Peoria to visit Outerspace? And here I thought NYC was the center of the world.

You can now witness some of the beauty of outerspace at Lakeview Museum in Peoria.

The museum unveiled this morning two new mural-sized images taken by NASA's Hubble Space telescope.

Lakeview Museum is one of 98 centers in the country to receive murals from NASA.

Museum visitor Enrique Gonzalez says he feels fortunate to get a chance to see the pictures first hand.

Gonazlez says, ''The one on the right looks like something out of a science fiction movie, and the one on the left looks like veins and arteries, the colors are real nice.''

One photograph is of the Eagle Nebula: an object in space, the other is of a cluster of stars.

The Hubble Space telescope was deployed in space in 1990.

Since then it has taken more than 700-thousand snapshots of celestial objects.
