===1960s=== During the 1960s, many of the center's exhibits were carried over from the original World's Fair exhibition; only a few of these original exhibits remain today. Currently, exhibits remaining from the World's Fair are the Lens and Mirror Machine and a suspended model of the Earth's moon.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.seattlepi.com/lifestyle/67034_fairmemories19.shtml| title=Recalling the time of their lives| newspaper=[[Seattle Post-Intelligencer]]| date=April 19, 2002| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020425223938/http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/lifestyle/67034_fairmemories19.shtml| archive-date=April 25, 2002}}</ref> One of the more notable science exhibits during the World's Fair was a ramp where the buildings were built at a tilt (the "illusion ramp"); this exhibit was reproduced in the late 1990s. The domed Spacerium, now known as the Seattle Laser Dome and used for [[laser show|laser light show]], was designed for a wide-angle movie journey through space. Before [[IMAX]], a previous movie theater there showed films such as NASA's [[Apollo 8]] (to the soundtrack of Yellow Submarine) and The 21st Century with [[Walter Cronkite]]. Before being elected governor of the state of Washington, [[Dixy Lee Ray]], served as Science Center director for many years. Ray helped promote the Science Center among school children by hosting a school-age geared science program televised on Seattle [[PBS]] station [[KCTS-TV|KCTS-9]].
