NASA Takes You on a (Virtual) Space Adventure Commercial space travel might still be the stuff of science fiction stories, but thanks to computer programs and augmented reality, your family can still experience what it’s like to explore space. NASA and other organizations provide a wealth of free resources that make space exploration come to life for stargazers and future astronauts alike. Take some time to explore a few of our favorites today.
EXPLORING DEEP SPACE VIA VIRTUAL REALITY On Jan. 30, 2020, NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope concluded its 16-year mission researching exoplanets, which are planets outside our solar system. This data was used to create Exoplanet Excursions, an immersive virtual reality experience that lets your family experience the Spitzer’s discoveries and control the telescope yourself. These incredible excursions are available on Oculus or Steam, so visit Spitzer. Caltech.edu/vr to start your adventure and explore deep space today! PLANET-HOPPING WITH NASA Have you ever wondered would it be like to stand on another world? Then “book” your next vacation with the Exoplanet Travel Bureau! This program takes you on digital tours of real exoplanets NASA has discovered. Though we don’t know what the surfaces of these worlds look like, artists have used scientific data to create 3D landscapes to explore. See them all, from Kepler-16b to TRAPPIST-1e, at Exoplanets.NASA.gov/alien- worlds/exoplanet-travel-bureau.
TOURING THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION
First launched in 1998, the International Space Station is a multinational space research laboratory. Nineteen different nations have sent astronauts, cosmonauts, and space tourists to the space station to conduct scientific experiments. It’s truly the stuff science fiction dreams are made of! In 2012, Expedition 33 Commander Sunita Williams filmed a full tour of this amazing floating lab and even included a quick lesson on how to work out in zero gravity. “Visit” the space station for yourself at Bit.ly/ISSTour.
A Pain-Free Tomorrow OUR PAT I ENTS SAY I T BEST
“Horizon Physical Therapy is a great rehabilitation facility. The front desk staff is very respectful and helpful with scheduling your appointments to fit your needs. As for all the therapists, they’re great as well. My primary pain was my back; they made sure they targeted my pain areas and executed a game plan for the best possible results. Now that it’s my discharge date, I’m happy and very much well over 100% as far as my back pain. Thanks again to Horizon Physical Therapy and all of their staff.”
“Horizon Physical Therapy was awesome. They helped me feel
100% better than what I was doing at home. Thank you all at Horizon Physical Therapy. Have a great year.”
