EAGLOPEN GravityLab

Reading about gravity is one thing. Feeling it is another. Drop the EAGLOPEN emblem onto six worlds — then leave the surface entirely and survey the Solar System.

tap anywhere to drop · grab the emblem to fling it

The Moon's gravity is just 0.17× Earth's. With no atmosphere to slow it down, the EAGLOPEN capsule falls in perfect silence.
