• Available on computers, mobiles, and tablets
• Easy to play; free to choose levels
• Science explained by every image

HOW TO PLAY THE GAME

1. Solve puzzles of Hubble imagery
2. Learn the science behind the image
3. Advance through levels

Why did we choose this topic?

We care about science education. Most students around the world face competitive study which makes them hard to relax while learning. Our team is dedicated to achieve the balance between heavy academic tasks and mental health.

What problemS do we solve?

• Motivate students to be interested in outer space.
• Playing and learning at the same time.
