About this event

Smithsonian Starstruck is a virtual reality experience that puts you inside the universe rather than just showing it to you. Built with the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, it begins at the Whipple Observatory under a sky full of constellations, then sends you out past dazzling galaxies toward a supermassive black hole.

Along the way you can ride powerful telescopes, feel the Sun's vibrations, and watch solar flares dwarfing Earth. There's also an exoplanet with erupting volcanoes and glittering diamonds below the surface, plus a supernova where star stuff gets recycled into new stars and planets.

The VR session runs about 40 minutes within a one-hour visit at Level 1, 206 Bourke Street. Arrive 15 minutes early to check your belongings, sign the waiver and collect equipment.
