Sky Observers Hangout: Globular Clusters in the Summer Sky

Globular clusters dazzle through telescopes with their tightly packed collections of tens or hundreds of thousands—or even millions—of stars! With some of these stars dating back to the early days of the universe, they give us insights into how stars form and evolve, and how galaxies collide and change. Join our astronomy educators, Michelle and Hunter, to observe some of these globular clusters through our Doane Observatory telescope in this cluster blockbuster!

Sky Observers Hangout is a production of the Adler Planetarium—the first planetarium in the Western Hemisphere! Located on Chicago’s lakeshore, the museum typically hosts more than half a million visitors each year and reaches millions more through youth STEAM programs, neighborhood skywatching events, people-powered research, and other outreach efforts. Today, the Adler is bringing our unique approach—scientific exploration rooted in community and connection—to guests from around the world who can enjoy the digital Adler from their own homes, libraries, schools or offices.
