This summer, there’s an awesome new immersive experience at London’s Science Museum. Using virtual reality (VR) technology, ‘Starstruck’ takes you on a journey through the universe, exploring stars, black holes and galaxies.

Whizz Pop Bang went along for a sneak preview before the exhibition opened and we can confirm that it really is out of this world!

We also got to meet awesome ESA astronaut Meganne Christian and discuss black holes with Cambridge University’s astronomy professor and black hole expert Sera Markoff!

This amazing exhibition is running until September 2026 and tickets are on sale now from here.
