About this event

Smithsonian Starstruck is a virtual reality experience that puts you inside the cosmos rather than just showing it to you. The 40-minute VR journey takes you from the Whipple Observatory through galaxies, exoplanets, and to the edge of a supermassive black hole—built with data and imagery from the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. You'll stand under live constellations, listen to the Sun's vibrations, and watch solar flares 30 times larger than Earth. Sessions run about an hour total (including 15 minutes for gear setup); groups up to six enter together.
