Amazon.com Inc(AMZN.O) founder and Chair Jeff Bezos will donate $200 million to the Smithsonian Institution to boost its Air and Space museum and fund a new education center, the largest gift since the museum's founding in 1846.
Two boys at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum look at images that are 48 hours old, coming back from the sun, in Washington, September 1, 2015. The sun's images, from NASA's Solar Dynamic Observatory, show four different wavelengths and deliver data on the sun's influence on earth.
The center will be in a facility to be constructed on the east side of the museum's plaza on the National Mall.
