Built in part in Danbury, it’s been circling the earth – and advancing our understanding of the universe – for nearly 20 years. Now, the Hubble Space Telescope has returned to Fairfield County and shares its celestial wonders in the IMAX movie “Hubble” at The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk.
“Hubble” takes audiences through distant galaxies at 11 a.m. and 1 & 3 p.m. daily through June 24 on the Aquarium’s six-story screen – the largest in Connecticut.
“With its ability to look deep into space with great clarity, the Hubble Space Telescope has had a profound impact on the way we view the universe and ourselves,” said Chris Loynd, the Aquarium’s marketing director. “It’s only fitting that some of Hubble’s discoveries be shared in a format that also is unmatched in its size and clarity: on IMAX film.”
“Hubble” was filmed by NASA astronauts aboard the space shuttle Atlantis in May 2009. Through the power of the immersive IMAX format, audiences will almost feel the weightlessness of space, but also the weigh…

Built in part in Danbury, it’s been circling the earth – and advancing our understanding of the universe – for nearly 20 years. Now, the Hubble Space Telescope has returned to Fairfield County and shares its celestial wonders in the IMAX movie “Hubble” at The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk.
“Hubble” takes audiences through distant galaxies at 11 a.m. and 1 & 3 p.m. daily through June 24 on the Aquarium’s six-story screen – the largest in Connecticut.
“With its ability to look deep into space with great clarity, the Hubble Space Telescope has had a profound impact on the way we view the universe and ourselves,” said Chris Loynd, the Aquarium’s marketing director. “It’s only fitting that some of Hubble’s discoveries be shared in a format that also is unmatched in its size and clarity: on IMAX film.”
“Hubble” was filmed by NASA astronauts aboard the space shuttle Atlantis in May 2009. Through the power of the immersive IMAX format, audiences will almost feel the weightlessness of space, but also the weigh…

Built in part in Danbury, it’s been circling the earth – and advancing our understanding of the universe – for nearly 20 years. Now, the Hubble Space Telescope has returned to Fairfield County and shares its celestial wonders in the IMAX movie “Hubble” at The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk.
“Hubble” takes audiences through distant galaxies at 11 a.m. and 1 & 3 p.m. daily through June 24 on the Aquarium’s six-story screen – the largest in Connecticut.
“With its ability to look deep into space with great clarity, the Hubble Space Telescope has had a profound impact on the way we view the universe and ourselves,” said Chris Loynd, the Aquarium’s marketing director. “It’s only fitting that some of Hubble’s discoveries be shared in a format that also is unmatched in its size and clarity: on IMAX film.”
“Hubble” was filmed by NASA astronauts aboard the space shuttle Atlantis in May 2009. Through the power of the immersive IMAX format, audiences will almost feel the weightlessness of space, but also the weigh…

Built in part in Danbury, it’s been circling the earth – and advancing our understanding of the universe – for nearly 20 years. Now, the Hubble Space Telescope has returned to Fairfield County and shares its celestial wonders in the IMAX movie “Hubble” at The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk.
“Hubble” takes audiences through distant galaxies at 11 a.m. and 1 & 3 p.m. daily through June 24 on the Aquarium’s six-story screen – the largest in Connecticut.
“With its ability to look deep into space with great clarity, the Hubble Space Telescope has had a profound impact on the way we view the universe and ourselves,” said Chris Loynd, the Aquarium’s marketing director. “It’s only fitting that some of Hubble’s discoveries be shared in a format that also is unmatched in its size and clarity: on IMAX film.”
“Hubble” was filmed by NASA astronauts aboard the space shuttle Atlantis in May 2009. Through the power of the immersive IMAX format, audiences will almost feel the weightlessness of space, but also the weigh…
