The International Astronomical Union () are hosting an gallery in ! The event is on May 27 from 11am - 12:30pm UTC and May 28 from 8pm - 9:30pm UTC, and showcases astronomical photographs captured with a smartphone 📱🌌

The event is being held in spatial.io, which is accessible from a VR headset (Quest), or just from your computer browser (i.e. no headset needed).

This is a super cool event and y’all gotta go!

@elizabethtasker Fantastic that this is an IAU event. Maybe a sign that astronomers are getting interested in VR and won't always respond with the equivalent of "Get a horse!" when we suggest VR applications?

OK, so you weren't at Tanegashima last weekend for the launch, and now your life is full of regrets?

Me too, people, me too.

BUT! There's now a 360 YouTube video that'll also look epic in for you to experience it as if your toes were (almost) in the sea!

@elizabethtasker More motivation for me to get YouTube 360 videos working onboard my Virtual Starship.

I'm thinking of writing this retro-futuristic techno thriller where the US manages to put people on the #Moon using only 1960s technology, former Nazi rocket scientists etc.

I would love to watch a back-to-back NASA trilogy:

Hidden Figures, First Man and Apollo 13.
