Before the “metaverse” became a buzzword, NASA had already built it in 1989.
VIEW was a full VR setup with body tracking and 3D gloves, decades ahead of its time.

A wooden tube that turned our understanding of the cosmos upside down.
On display at the Galileo Museum, Florence.
Imagine being the first human to see the moons of Jupiter.

Word of the Day: Conjunction

When two planets (or the Moon & Sun) line up in the sky, it’s basically a celestial coffee date.
They look close, but it’s just perspective.
Cosmic long-distance relationship vibes 😍

Thanks for pointing that out! You’re right that a new moon isn’t visible to the naked eye. Just to spark curiosity. We appreciate you dropped your comment.

New kid on the block 🪐

Webb has found the strongest evidence yet of a gas giant around Alpha Centauri A!

If confirmed, it would be the nearest planet that orbits in the habitable zone of a sun-like star.

Read more 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl... 🔭 🧪

Illustration of a large spherical object that looks like a gas giant planet. The object appears to have bands of tan, orange, and dark red horizontal lines forming patterns similar to those in the atmosphere of Jupiter. The background is filled with thousands of distant stars that form a Milky Way-like band running from left to right. The host star, Alpha Centauri A, appears as a glowing white circle to the upper left of the planet. Further off in the distance above and to the right of the planet is a smaller glowing circle, nearby Alpha Centauri B. The words “Artist’s Concept” are in the lower left corner.
