Patrons will have the chance to learn about our universe, how stars and planets form and the role of gravity. The exhibit is broken down into four areas: Seach for Alien Earths, Exploring Our Solar System, Space Rocks and Electric Space.
The exhibit will also feature several special library programs and events, including a grand opening from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday. There will also be star-viewing evenings Sept. 7 and Sept. 28. Ignacio Community Library, 470 Goddard Ave.

New show is for the animals at Studio &Studio & is opening a new show this weekend. “A World Apart: New Paintings from Elizabeth Kinahan,” besides offering cool artwork, is helping animals as well.
In Kinahan’s newest work, she continues to explore local animals, primarily agricultural animals. She’ll be showing a year of new paintings, which includes portraits of donkeys, sheep, cattle and goats.
And the cool thing about this show is that the work will again serve as a way to support animal-rescue efforts, with a portion of all sales being donated to Peaceful Prairie Sanctuary in Deer Trail.
There will be an opening reception from 5 to 9 p.m. Friday at the gallery, 1027 Main Ave.
The exhibit will run through Sept. 4.
