Explore the Sky Challenge 2025-2026

We’re thrilled to invite you and your students on an exciting journey through the sky!

Our astronomy challenge is designed to spark curiosity and wonder as you observe stars, constellations, the Moon, the Sun, and the planets of our Solar System.

Throughout December and January, when the Sun sets early in the evening, you’ll be able to make simple sky observations, all visible to the naked eye even from the city. This is your chance to deepen your students’ knowledge of the cosmos and (re)ignite their connection to nature. Plus, they’ll get to explore the fascinating realm of exoplanets—worlds beyond our Solar System!

By joining, you'll receive all the tools and resources needed to guide your students through this stellar adventure. We’ll be in touch with weekly emails to give you the observations of the week, resources, tips, and support to ensure your challenge is a cosmic hit!

Ready to inspire your students and make their stargazing experience unforgettable? Let’s embark on this celestial adventure together!
