Creating a better future by exploring other worlds and understanding our own.

We have built this astrometric calibration service to create correct, standards-compliant astrometric meta-data for every useful astronomical image ever taken, past and future, in any state of archival disarray. We hope this will help organize, annotate and make searchable all the world's astronomical information.

The basic laws of physics work equally well forward or backward in time, yet we perceive time to move in one direction only-toward the future. Why?

Here is a realistic, professional space simulator for astronomy enthusiasts. Explore the Universe in a 3-dimensional view on the monitor of your computer. Fly from the surface of the Earth to any destination in the outer space. Simulate an outer-space journey in any direction, at any speed, and in any time in the present, past, or the future!

Astronomers searching the atmospheres of alien worlds for gases that might be produced by life can't rely on the detection of just one type.

A team of scientists from the California Institute of Technology, Princeton, Drexel University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have formed the first professional scientific organization based entirely in virtual worlds. Meta Institute for Computational Astrophysics (MICA) conducts professional seminars and popular lectures, among other events, for its growing membership.
