A Quantum Leap For Space Education
Colorful and explosive without any 3D simulations, Sky Candy is more massive and farther out than any other astronomy course, yet connected to us all on a personal level. Culled from the latest and greatest images from the world’s premiere space agencies, everything you see is 100% real, with no enlargements or up-scaling, showcasing only the most mind-blowing scenics in the entire universe. This simple premise, which no other astronomy course has ever had the conviction to uphold, elevates Sky Candy to a level of authenticity never witnessed. Until now.
Have You Ever Seen The Real Universe?
Picture this: A dazzling nebula studded with glowing pink clouds and tendrils of dark dust, harboring thousands and thousands of budding stars. Or an ancient globular cluster with millions of primordial bodies whizzing through space at 600 kilometers per second, lighting up the darkness like fireworks. Or a spiral galaxy in a hurricane-like swirl, cannibalizing a powerless neighbor with unstoppable ferocity. You’ve never seen anything like this before, and you’re not going to believe your eyes. This is Sky Candy.
