Description:
IBEX: Search for the Edge of the Solar System is produced by the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, this show is narrated by two inquisitive teenagers. The teens follow the creation of NASA's IBEX satellite, and audiences will get an in-depth look at the mission and how IBEX is collecting high-speed atoms to create a map of our Solar System's boundary.

Where does our solar system end and the rest of our galaxy begin? What other things has IBEX discovered? Visitors will be given some materials that may help their understanding of this satellite which is (remotely) reaching out to the edge of our little solar system's cradle.
