CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A 6-foot-by-3-foot image of the Milky Way galaxy and other large-scale images as seen by NASA telescopes are being unveiled at New Hampshire’s McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center.

Only a handful of museums across the country were selected to receive the murals to mark the International Year of Astronomy and the 400th anniversary of Galileo turning a telescope to the sky.

The images will go on display Tuesday morning.
