Two Voyager spacecraft were launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida in 1977. Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter in March, 1979, and Saturn in November, 1980. Voyager 2 passed both planets before it continued on to encounter Uranus, the seventh planet from the sun, in January, 1986, and Neptune in August, 1989.

A photograph of the Voyager spacecraft accompanies images of Jupiter's red spot and moons. "Montage of Saturnian System" hangs next to vibrant photocopies showing Saturn's rings and moons. Voyager 2's closest approach to Uranus was 50,600 miles above the planet's clouds. The spacecraft returned extensive data on the planet's rings and moons.

How many of us knew that Neptune has rings? Voyager 2 captured details of Neptune's ring system before it continued on its journey beyond our solar system.

Finally, there is a series of images generated from the Infrared Astronomical Satellite II (IRAS). Launched in January, 1983, it spent the next 10 months taking pictures of celestial objects. Among other celestial bodies on display here are the Andromeda and Milky Way galaxies.
