The servers of Pokémon GO, the augmented reality adventure game for iOS and Android devices, are on fire. It already has millions of players around the world, who hunt and capture Pokémons left and right. Today, we point you to places or scientific centers in the real world to find Pokémons. This is the scientific circuit of Pokémon GO:
NASA Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center
The visitor center of the NASA Johnson Space Center (USA) appears to be a focus of Pokémon. The Space Center has identified up to 18 ” Pokémon stops ” or hot spots for these rare digital monsters.
Mathias Smithsonian Laboratory
Researchers working at the Smithsonian Mathias Laboratory at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center in Edgewater, Maryland, have also been invaded by Pokémon.
NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
According to scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, for Pokémon, this center in Pasadena, California (USA), is like a gym, as it is already controlled by a level-11 player with a blue Vaporeon.
Arizona Science Center
A Caterpie-type Pokémon (resembling a giant caterpillar) was found by staff at the Arizona Science Center in Phoenix (USA), near a giant insect exhibit, of course.
University of California Los Angeles (UCLA)
The birthplace of the internet is also a hotbed for these digital monsters. In fact, a student captured a pair of pocket monsters while strolling through the halls of UCLA’s Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Sciences, in the presence of the machine that sent the first message over the Internet.
Fermi National Laboratory
This particle physics lab in Batavia, Illinois (USA) is probably every Pokémon GO player’s dream, as there are Pokémon everywhere: on the board of the Tevatron’s cryogenic cooling system), in the gym , in the offices and even in the control room.
Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
An LHC physicist at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, found that the ATLAS detector, which is used to identify and study new particles, is actually a Pokéstop. At the moment the species of Pokémon that roam the tunnels of the Hadron Collider are unknown.
International Space Station
While Pokémon GO sees how its number of players rises and rises … there are six people unable to participate and hunt Pokémon: the astronauts of the ISS. In fact, a tweet from the International Space Station noted that “there are no Pokémon to capture in space by the crew.”
