About this event

Smithsonian Starstruck is a virtual reality experience that puts you inside the cosmos rather than just showing you pictures of it. Created with the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, you'll stand at their Whipple Observatory, climb aboard powerful telescopes, and venture to the edge of a supermassive black hole. The 40-minute VR journey takes in galaxies, solar flares 30 times larger than Earth, exoplanets with erupting volcanoes, and supernovas recycling star stuff into new worlds.
