100 Hours of Astronomy | 100 Years of the Planetarium

>From 2 to 5 October 2025, the International Astronomical Union Office for
Astronomy Outreach (IAU OAO) and the International Planetarium Society
(IPS), two of the world's leading organisations dedicated to public
engagement with astronomy, will team up to deliver a 100-hour marathon of
astronomy events and activities dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the
first planetarium.

The marathon event, 100 Hours of Astronomy, is run annually by the IAU
Office for Astronomy Outreach to encourage people from all over the world
to unite under one sky. This year, the IAU OAO partnered with IPS to
highlight the legacy and importance of planetariums for fostering our sense
of global togetherness and curiosity in the wonders of our Universe.

The IAU OAO and IPS will host two main events during 100 Hours of
Astronomy: Big Astronomy, Big Aspirations and 24 Hours of Planetariums.
More information is included below, but additional details and registration
forms will be available on the IAU OAO and IPS websites in the coming
months.
*2 October: Big Astronomy, Big Aspirations*
*100 Hours of Astronomy will begin with a 360° YouTube livestream of the
planetarium show, *Big Astronomy*. This show highlights the diversity of
people who work at some of the most important sites for modern astronomy
and their careers. Ardis Herrold (Rubin Observatory) will follow with a
talk entitled “The NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory - The Transformative
Years”, discussing the next generation of ground-based astronomy. All are
welcome to join this hour-long online event and engage with speakers,
creators and audiences worldwide! Exact times and details to come.*

*4 October: 24 Hours of Planetariums*
Planetariums – large, small, mobile, stationary, and hand-made – are
important cultural and educational centres for their communities. The OAO
and IPS want to show the world the unique view from inside your planetarium
and give you and your team global recognition. Planetariums are invited to
sign up for our 24-hour continuous event that we will stream live from
the Akashi
Municipal Planetarium

in Japan. Whether it be a quick hello with your audience or a longer
message for the world, the OAO and IPS hope you will participate in this
event to demonstrate the connection everyone has to understanding our place
in the Universe. The organisations jointly aim to make this as high-impact
and low-cost as possible, ensuring all planetariums can get involved.

While the 2025 100 Hours of Astronomy theme is “100 Years of the
Planetarium,” there are many ways to celebrate astronomy. Here’s how:

   1. Brainstorm ideas for an event with your community.
   2. Advertise your event

   on the OAO Astronomy Engagement Events Calendar.
   3. Tag the IPS and OAO in your social media posts using the hashtags
