Experience a voyage through our Milky Way galaxy using the Meta Quest 3 mixed reality headset.
Make a visit to the nearby Orion Nebula stellar nursery, where thousands of stars are in the process of forming, before sweeping out the view the majesty of the Milky Way’s disk from above.
Descend to the very centre of the galaxy where a supermassive black hole – millions of times more massive than the Sun – lurks.
Your journey will be a little quicker than the 100,000 years required to undertake the real journey while travelling at the speed of light!
