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 journey takes you from the Whipple Observatory through galaxies, past solar flares 30 times Earth's size, and to the edge of a supermassive black hole. You'll explore an exoplanet with erupting volcanoes, witness a supernova, and listen to the Sun's vibrations. Bookings available for sessions throughout the month; arrive 15 minutes early to sign the waiver and collect your gear.
