Beam Me Up

Space or the final frontier, both of which are synonyms to describe the black place when we look up at night. What about space makes people so interested? Could some people be attracted to the stars or maybe others are more interested in the solar system. I know that space interests me because it is the location of the most powerful source known to man, the sun. There are many ways to view space here on earth. For example we can view space from a telescope, space dome, or even Second Life.

On April 19th, 2010, I went to one of the premier art galleries in Second Life. My avatar and I saw many creative pieces of art at SmarterEarth. SmarterEarth is an island in Second Life, where avatars can go to view many different art galleries and exhibits. However the best exhibit was the Solar Space Exhibit. The exhibit involved many amazing space experiences. When I clicked on the exhibit from SmarterEarth, Dante Arlington(my avatar’s name) teleported immediately to the space tower. From the space tower, there are many extravagant sights to see. The space station was illuminated by the bright stars and sublime solar systems that a viewer could see in any direction they looked. Everywhere Dante went there were sparkles and various colors of violet, yellow, indigo, and green. In the middle of the space tower there is a circle. If you go to the space tower face the circle and look up. When this happens you should see a floating bus. The space tower is a must see if you are looking for something extraordinary and different.
