Google Arts & Culture has put together an incredible interactive site that allows visitors to explore Chicago’s Adler Planetarium from anywhere in the world.

From online exhibits and photo galleries to a point-of-view Google ‘Street’ view that allows you to ‘walk’ through different parts of the Planetarium, this is a great opportunity for space enthusiasts to explore the historic 90-year old building and all of the modern artifacts and exhibits.

While you can’t explore the whole museum or enter the planetarium for a show, take a ‘walk’-through of the Mission Moon exhibit and gaze in awe at the Apollo 13 command module, nicknamed Odyssey.

You might recognize NASA Langley Research Center as the facility where Hidden Figures like Katherine Johnson worked during their careers helping NASA reach space.

Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio is another NASA facility that is overlooked for a visit except by the most space devoted.

Virtual tour spots include two wind tunnels – one that’s for low-speed testing and another that’s for supersonic testing –, a ballistics impact lab (to ensure spacecraft can handle micrometeorites and other space debris), the Zero Gravity facility where NASA studies microgravity, and the propulsion systems laboratory.

One more space place you can take a virtual tour is Palomar Observatory, located high in the mountains outside of San Diego

On the virtual tour, you can explore the visitor center, inside the Hale dome, and inside the Oschin and Mayer domes – where two more of Palomar’s telescopes are housed
