Journey to planets far beyond our solar system to explore planets discovered by NASA's Kepler spacecraft.
Gravity Exploration

How do celestial bodies warp the fabric of space-time and interact with each other?

Use the virtual lab to create objects in space and begin observing how this laws of physics works. Be careful, gravity is everywhere!

PictureElectron Microscope
​Virtual Electron Microscope
​
Use this virtual electron microscope to observe samples of all the world has to offer!


Scale of the Universe
Picture
If you have ever wondered where we fit in the universe, then this interactive is for you. The Scale of the Universe takes you on a ride down to the smallest thing theorized by scientists and then out to the vastness of the universe.

Making Thunderstorms
Picture
Can you help Theo and Bill figure out where these hurricanes will make landfall? Using data from the GOES-16 satellite (previously known as GOES-R) and considering wind vectors, estimate where the hurricane will hit. Hurricanes keep coming, and they're all different, so you have to stay sharp!
Can you adjust the atmosphere to make a thunderstorm?  Thunderstorms can only happen under certain conditions. What do temperature and humidity need to be like up high and near to the ground to make a storm?
Students: determine where the hurricane will hit as soon as possible. The faster you guess, the higher your score. But guess wrong and you will lose points, so you need to be sure!
Students: determine which settings creates the largest thunderstorm. Remember to record your answer(s).

Window Into The
​Solar System
Picture
View the motion of the planets in this activity. Solar System Scope is a model of Solar System, Night sky and Outer Space in real time, with accurate positions of objects and lots of interesting facts.
