100 Hours of Astronomy | 100 Years of the Planetarium
Call to Action
*Apply to be an engagement node for a 100 Hours of Astronomy event!*

>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.

*To help boost global participation, the OAO and IPS are calling on any
individuals, institutions or organisations to apply to be engagement nodes.*
Nodes will represent 100 Hours of Astronomy in their local communities by
participating in the 24 Hours of Planetarium event, hosting local astronomy
events, and helping connect people to the wonders of the night sky. We will
advertise the nodes on our website and direct interested members of their
local publics to seek out opportunities through them.

While we welcome nodes to participate at any time throughout the 100 hours,
we hope that everyone will apply to take part in our 24 Hours of the
Planetarium event on 4 October 2025. Streaming live from the Akashi
Municipal Planetarium
