This Brilliant Interactive From NASA Lets You Virtually Explore Planets Far, Far Away
Brb, going to Kepler-186f.
JACINTA BOWLER 25 MAY 2018
Ever dreamt of stepping onto a faraway planet? Well, NASA has you covered with this incredible virtual planet simulator.
The Exoplanet Travel Bureau drops you into vastly different star systems to explore distant worlds.
You can enjoy Trappist-1e's blood red sky, a planet we now know has a large iron core.
The Trappist system has seven planets, and caused huge hype last year about possible water and Earth-like worlds only 40 light years away.
