Experience and share the universe!

Join the international celebration with these easy-to-use monthly guides.

Each IYA Discovery Guide includes:

• New theme every month
• Hands-on activity to explore the theme
• Featured celestial object and how to find it in the sky.

The Night Sky Network is a nationwide coalition of amateur astronomy clubs bringing the science, technology, and inspiration of NASA's missions to the general public.

We share our time and telescopes to provide you with unique astronomy experiences at science museums, observatories, classrooms, and under the real night sky.
