Achingly cool, the posters tell stories of far-away worlds offering exotic, never before seen wonders to intrepid explorers. Well now, <strong>NASA wants you to visit the likes of Kepler-186F, Kepler-16b, and Trappist-1e.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Obviously, and somewhat, unfortunately, these visits can only be virtual. <strong>NASA has created virtual landscapes for each planet, based on all of the data they\u2019ve gathered so far<\/strong>. On some, they\u2019ve even included an \u201cAdd Atmosphere\u201d button to simulate what the planet could look like if it had an atmosphere. These places are so far away, NASA hasn\u2019t been able to figure it out yet.<\/p>\n<p>So if you want to see what it is like on the surface of other planets all you have to do is put on your mobile VR headset, or turn all the lights off and go take a look on your desktop. Definitely worth a trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever wanted to visit another planet?
