Space exploration is fascinating and inspiring for children and adults alike. With the tiny Raspberry Pi computer helping to change the world little-by-little, it was only a matter of time before it went to space to help out there as well. This new adventure is called the Astro Pi project. To help the Raspberry Pi in its extraterrestrial mission, the Sense HAT was created to provide more functionality; the Sense HAT board sits on top of the Raspberry Pi, and has lights and sensors to allow the Pi to interact with the outside world.
