Astronomy in Action

Did you hear about our newest adventure? 🚀

May 12th and 13th – participants in Love the World, Experience the World had the opportunity to take space exploration to the next level!

By partnering with Astronomy in Action for an AMAZING 360 degree planetarium dome, participants used Virtual Reality to learn about the astronauts at the International Space Station, solar system, and constellations! It really gives “reach for the stars” a whole new meaning!

A big thank you to Astronomy in Action for this experience – it was truly out of this world!

Check out some of the amazing photos captured from the live VR experience!
