Look up! What do you see?

Sky, stars, stories, ancestors, constellations.

Across cultures and centuries, people have looked to the same sky and found different meanings within it. Under One Sky invites visitors of all ages to discover how different cultures understand the night sky and to explore those perspectives through astronomy.

Step inside a portable planetarium, create your own constellation artwork, learn about astronomy in the High Andes, and explore the impact of light pollution. Weather permitting, view the Sun through a solar-safe telescope.

If you’re fascinated by astronomy, curious about world cultures, or simply looking for an inspiring summer night out, join us to see the cosmos—and our place within it—from new perspectives.
