Exploring the planets of our Solar System, deciding the ultimate fate of a star or flying around the galaxies in the local Universe are all possible in a 3D AstroTour. From an astronaut's footprint to the galaxy clusters that form the most gigantic structures known, it is a captivating astronomy experience for the whole family. Some very innovative Virtual Reality technologies have been developed by the Astrophysics and Supercomputing people at Swinburne University. The movies are produced by SpaceWorks: a multidisciplinary team.
AstroTours are recommended for audiences aged 7 years or over, and are available for primary and secondary school groups as well as the general public.
