    100 Hours of Astronomy 2026

    100 Hours of Astronomy is a yearly global celebration organized by the Office for Astronomy Outreach (OAO) that invites people of all ages and backgrounds to come together and connect with the night sky — and with the science that helps us understand it.
    From vibrant cities to the most remote corners of the world, this event brings astronomy closer to communities everywhere. Through public stargazing, workshops, talks, and hands-on educational activities, 100 Hours of Astronomy sparks curiosity, encourages shared exploration of the cosmos, and invites us all to reflect on our place in the Universe.

    A New Perspective on the Solar System

    Our understanding of the Solar System has never been static. Every new observation, mission, and discovery helps us refine our knowledge, challenge old ideas, and reveal a richer and more dynamic picture of our cosmic neighbourhood.

    Throughout history, our view of the Solar System has transformed dramatically, from an Earth-centred universe to a heliocentric system filled with planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and countless other worlds. More recently, space missions have reshaped our understanding of the origins of water and the building blocks of life, the nature and diversity of Solar System bodies, and humanity’s place within the cosmos.

    This year’s 100 Hours of Astronomy celebrates the excitement of scientific discovery and invites everyone to explore the Solar System through a fresh perspective. Science is not a collection of fixed answers, it is an ongoing journey of curiosity, evidence, and discovery.
