°×С½ãÂÛ̳O Explore launched - Pay the °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Observatory a virtual visit!

24 May 2021

°×С½ãÂÛ̳O Explore is a short educational video game where you can explore the °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Observatory site to learn about and interact with our 5 astronomical telescopes.

Launched earlier this month, °×С½ãÂÛ̳O Explore gives members of the public the opportunity to visit the °×С½ãÂÛ̳ Observatory in Mill Hill without leaving their chair. Players can explore a faithful rendition of the Observatory site, and can interact with all 5 of the astronomical telescopes, viewing images and videos taken directly through the telescopes themselves.

°×С½ãÂÛ̳O Explore runs on the Unity engine and is hosted in-browser as a WebGL game.  The game can be played in the window in the page, or you can switch to fullscreen by tapping the blue icon on the bottom right. For weaker computers or laptops, we recommend playing in the small-windowed mode as full-screen will be more taxing for your system.
