Starting with the diverse planets of the Solar System\, charming comets\, hot stars\, and ethereal nebulae\, they鈥檒l take you on a journey all the way to galaxies billions of light-years away. Into this mix\, they will throw in a bit of mysterious dark matter\, a few black holes\, a dash of dark energy\, and finish it off with a pinch of strange elementary particles. \nHowever\, for an ordinary Earthling\, such a list of fancy terms feels just like flipping through a cookbook\, without being able to taste the individual ingredients\, let alone the finished product. That鈥檚 why we decided to serve you the universe in a completely different way 鈥 You will experience it with all your senses! \nDiscover what it feels like to touch the universe\, what a comet or cosmic space smells like\, and even how the Saturn鈥檚 moon Enceladus or the planet Mars taste like.
