Our take on Virtual telescope
The focus on viewing celestial scenes gives the experience a clear observational direction. That emphasis leaves less room for activities centered on manipulating objects or conducting experiments within the virtual environment.
What is Virtual telescope?
Explore the star sky above a location or visit the Moon, Mars, and another star system in virtual reality.
The displayed stars and solar system state depend on the current geolocation and time. Zoom and lens size can be changed while viewing. Selecting an object provides information about it, and solar and lunar eclipses can also be watched. The experience includes the TRAPPIST-1 planets as a destination for exploration. Its activities include viewing celestial objects and events, adjusting the view, and visiting other worlds.
