Adler astronomers and educators brought the museum—and the universe—a little closer for you!

With Scopes in the City, Adler astronomers and staff led free telescope observing programs in Chicago neighborhoods. Depending on the dates, times and locations of the Scopes in the City events, attendees were able to observe the Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and more.

The Adler is America's first planetarium and a premiere resource for inspiring the next generation of space explorers. The museum was founded in 1930 by Chicago business leader Max Adler and has been a stalwart in the Chicago cultural landscape ever since, offering fascinating and accessible programing, conducting research, and hosting events. It is located on the northeast tip of Northerly Island, the eastern most building of Chicago's spectacular museum campus.

And, since it isn't always possible for kids in particular to get to the museum, they bring the show on the road!

Magellan greatly enjoys helping the Adler bring the heavens just a little closer to earth.
