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 starts at the Whipple Observatory under a sky full of constellations, then takes you aboard powerful telescopes past dazzling galaxies.

The journey covers solar flares around 30 times the size of Earth, an exoplanet with erupting volcanoes and glittering diamonds beneath its surface, and a supernova scattering star stuff for new stars and planets. It finishes at the edge of a supermassive black hole pulling a star into its grasp.

The VR portion runs about 40 minutes within a roughly one-hour visit at Level 1, 206 Bourke Street. Arrive 15 minutes early to drop off belongings, sign the waiver and collect equipment. Suitable for ages 10 and up, minimum height 1.30m, with groups of up to six entering at a time.
