Journey through an Exploded Star
Navigate the fiery aftermath of a supernova in the “Journey through an Exploded Star” interactive simulation in 360°. This never-before-seen 3D view of a supernova remnant, built with real scientific data, allows students to visualize the electromagnetic spectrum. It features research by a team of scientists led by Smithsonian astronomer Kimberly Arcand. Take an immersive tour as she explains the data collected from across the electromagnetic spectrum and captured by multiple telescopes. She’ll explain how and why scientists study the entire spectrum: to gain a comprehensive picture of these cosmic explosions.
