Two Small Pieces of Glass: The Amazing Telescope

Four hundred years ago, a simple adjustment to a child's spyglass revealed an infinite and perplexing universe. Join us today as the world's great telescopes gaze even further into the distant past – and into our future.

Journey to the Stars

Visitors are launched through space and time to experience the life and death of the stars in our night sky, including our own nurturing Sun. Tour familiar stellar formations, explore new celestial mysteries, and discover the fascinating, unfolding story that connects us all to the stars. Extraordinary images from telescopes on the ground and in space showcase stunning, never-before-seen visualizations.

A film by the American Museum of Natural History. Narrated by Whoopi Goldberg.
