Macon's Museum of arts and Sciences has a new exhibit that will send you spinning!

It's a human gyroscope! WGXA’s Jeff Cox took it for a test drive Wednesday afternoon.

According to museum officials, although conceived by NASA as a training tool for astronauts, the human gyroscope is an effective educational tool for kids studying physical science.

A spin on the gyroscope is free with a regular museum admission ticket. The gyroscope is now a permanent fixture at the museum!
