🥰🥰🥰🥰

Thanks to @NorfolkBotanic for working with our STEM360 Students!

We have over 100,000ft² of safe space for you and your family to explore. 🌍 We will limit admissions and take ample precautions to help with social distancing, keeping your hands clean, and keeping our space safe… instagram.com/p/CCZSYqMh8xK/…

We open in ONE WEEK!! Double tap if you’re excited! Check out VASC.org/safespace for more info. . . #safespace #safe #covid19 #covid_19 #reopening #launch #rocketlaunch #museum @ Virginia Air & Space Center instagram.com/p/CB045V9BDaJ/…

Can you complete a mission to build and launch astronauts to the ISS? Carefully choose a mission objective, hand select astronauts, build a rocket, and launch to the ISS! #VirtualSTEM360 Play RocketScience-Ride to Station today: rocketsciencec2e.ksc.nasa.gov/?fbclid=IwAR0I…

Did you know that planets that orbit around other stars are called exoplanets? Exoplanets are very hard to see directly with telescopes. So how do we look for Earth-like planets in other solar systems? Learn all about it in this video! #VirtualSTEM360 youtube.com/watch?v=UDCyLA…

Have you ever wondered how GPS works? #VirtualSTEM360 #GPS youtube.com/watch?v=RSA3fe…

Did you know the ocean is hiding Earth's deepest trench? At 36,070 feet deep, the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench is famously the deepest known point in the Earth's oceans. It owes its existence to plate tectonics! #WorldOceansDay #VIrtualSTEM360

Did you know galaxies come in many different shapes and sizes? A galaxy is a huge collection of gas, dust, and billions of stars all held together by gravity. Learn about the different shapes and become a Galactic Explorer. #VirtualSTEM360 spaceplace.nasa.gov/galactic-explo…

Have you ever wanted to cruise around on the surface of another planet? Well, you’re in luck! You can explore Mars here, drive the rover, and collect information about Martian rocks. #VirtualSTEM360 #Mars spaceplace.nasa.gov/explore-mars/e…

Did you know the first U.S. spacewalk was on this day in 1965? Astronaut Edward H. White II floats in the zero-gravity of space outside the Gemini IV spacecraft during a four-day Earth-orbital mission. #STEM360 #NASA Check out the photos here: spacecenter.org/this-day-in-hi….

Do you what phase of the moon you will see tonight? A Waxing Gibbous and the next full moon is on June 5th! #VirtualSTEM360 #MoonPhases See if you can identify all of the moon phases here: ixl.com/science/grade-…

Which pole is colder? North or South? Both the Arctic (North Pole) and the Antarctic (South Pole) are cold because they don’t get any direct sunlight. However, the South Pole is a lot colder than the North Pole. #VirtualSTEM360 climatekids.nasa.gov/polar-temperat…
