The Miguel Hernández University, MUDIC, and the Orihuela City Council open the exhibition The Journey of Light today at the María Moliner Library, as part of the cultural dialogues program.

The exhibition, which has already been displayed at the Elche campus, will be open to the public until August 31. Its main goal is to bring scientific outreach to different parts of the province through a narrative covering over 13.8 billion years of cosmic history.
The tour invites visitors to explore key concepts such as the origin of matter, the formation of the first galaxies, and the mysteries of dark energy. To facilitate understanding, an accessible audio guide via QR codes is available to accompany the public throughout the visit.
In addition to general astronomical themes, the exhibition connects scientific knowledge with the local context. It includes a specific section on the 1900 solar eclipse in Elche and information on upcoming astronomical phenomena visible in Spain between 2026 and 2028.
