About the class

Join the Pacific Science Center for a wild virtual ride to explore the planets and moons that make up Earth’s neighborhood, the solar system. Explore each unique landscape as you search for deep craters, ancient volcanoes, and frozen ice caps to discover what these geologic features can teach us about how the planets formed, where extraterrestrial life may be found, and where astronauts and rovers should visit next.
