On Wednesday, Google and NASA announced a partnership to inspire the next generation of astronauts. OUR The Google Gallery of Art and Culture has updated the Solar System online exhibit., with updated 3D models and augmented reality support. A partnership with the US Space Agency has updated and added new information on the many planets, stars and telescopes on display.

Explore the solar system with NASA and Google

It is now possible to travel around our solar system using Google’s online display, enhanced in collaboration with NASA. The project offers visitors the opportunity observe in augmented reality the Sun, Moon and planets from Mercury to Saturn. Those who wish can also simply browse the site without using the augmented reality features. In addition, the display also offers information on important telescopes such as James Webb as well as rockets.

As part of the new exhibition, 3D models got an annotation system. Users will be able to identify important places and data on each planet or satellite, such as the landing site of the Apollo 11 mission. The annotation system is currently only available via the web version and is due later for iOS and Android.

The Google Art and Culture Gallery project presents a good amount of information for anyone interested in the mysteries and beauty of the cosmos. New models make it easier to understand the intricate workings of the James Webb telescope.

The annotation system indicates important points of the 3D object and makes it easier to explore the solar system. The project is of great interest not only to users who are interested in space, but also to educational activities in schools, as it offers an interactive model full of information that teachers can study with students.
