What's Up There
Throughout human history, people have looked to the night sky with wonder. This curiosity has led us from early observations with the naked eye, to the likes of Galileo and other early astronomers using the first telescopes and ground-based observatories, to the modern day space telescopes such as the James-Webb.
With advances in camera technology we have been able to capture details of distant celestial objects far beyond what our eyes could ever hope to see on their own.
Check out some of these cosmic entities that we may get a closer look at on the tour.
Constellations
Constellations are patterns of stars that appear close to each other in the night sky but are often vast distances apart in space. They have been used for millennia as navigation tools and storytelling canvases, reflecting the myths and cultures of civilizations around the world. While constellations have no physical connection between their stars, they offer a unique way to study the positions and motions of celestial objects relative to Earth.
