Smithsonian Starstruck: An Immersive Experience is a first-of-its-kind virtual reality adventure that doesn't just show visitors the universe - it places them inside it. Created in collaboration with the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, the experience takes visitors on a journey through the cosmos, from dazzling galaxies to the edge of a black hole.
Guests can stand beside the Smithsonian’s Whipple Observatory, under a sky alive with constellations; climb aboard powerful telescopes and uncover the universe’s greatest mysteries; listen to the Sun's vibrations and behold solar flares 30 times larger than Earth; explore an exoplanet where volcanoes erupt and diamonds glitter beneath the surface; witness a spectacular supernova as star stuff is recycled into new stars and planets; and venture to the edge of a supermassive black hole as it pulls a star into its grasp.
