In this interactive VR presentation filled with amazement, you are serenaded by Asteria, a giant opera star made of star material.

Many sailors navigate using her: the star Asteria, a 15-metre-tall opera diva, born from protostellar matter and clouds of gas. She sings about the astronomical distance between her and her lost lover. Blinded by grief, she doesn’t see how she is slowly changing into a black hole. Can you find her in this virtual-reality diorama?
