These days we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing and focusing on a possible new lunar conquest by 2023. But let’s dream a bit and look at the most beautiful space visualizations of the universe the Internet can offer today!
For all skywatchers out there, here’s a list of the sites to visualize data related to galaxies, space visualization and the world around us.
