About this event

Smithsonian Starstruck is a virtual reality experience that puts you inside the cosmos rather than just showing you pictures of it. You'll stand at the Whipple Observatory, climb aboard telescopes, listen to the Sun's vibrations, and venture to the edge of a supermassive black hole. The 40-minute VR journey unfolds across a hour-long session on Level 1 of 206 Bourke Street. Content's available in English and Spanish.
