American Astronomy, a new show created by the staff of the Reichert Planetarium in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, explores the people, discoveries, and ideas that shaped our nation’s relationship with the sky.
Journey from Indigenous sky traditions and colonial navigation to great observatories, the Apollo Moon landings, gravitational waves, and the newest generation of space telescopes.
Through immersive imagery, music, and storytelling, this original production celebrates America’s long history of looking upward—and the discoveries still waiting to be made.
