Description
Travel through the solar system and beyond in a tour of our stellar neighborhood. Witness the lives and deaths of stars, hear about newly discovered solar systems, and feel firsthand the size and scale of the Milky Way as we explore our home galaxy in space.
Part of our "Explore" series, which leaves our Earth-bound view behind to take students on virtual tours of the solar system, Milky Way galaxy, or cosmos. With a live presenter as a guide, these highly interactive programs incorporate student questions and audience feedback to drive the program, selecting specific objects for exploration.
