Have you wondered what the universe looks like outside our solar system—or even millions of light years from Earth?  

Join Assistant Director of the Hayden Planetarium Brian Abbott on a journey through the observable universe. He’ll guide you beyond our familiar, starry night sky to explore unfathomable distances. Discover cosmic objects both near and far as we travel from Earth to the most distant reaches of the universe using Open Space visualization software.  

This program will be presented in English. The 6 pm performance will be presented in Spanish.  

This program utilizes OpenSpace software supported by NASA under award No NNX16AB93A. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
