vMAX engages students and the general public in the search for worlds beyond our own. With a three year grant from NASA, Frost Science has developed custom resources including a virtual world, supporting curriculum and museum exhibit. Students and museum visitors explore the vMAX virtual world via their avatars, investigating real exoplanets, missions, and data, and immersing themselves in 3D simulations of exoplanetary systems and detection methods.
