The NOIRLab facilities in Chile, Tucson, and Hawai‘i engage in myriad community events ranging from public star parties to science fairs and even parades!
Star Educators is NOIRLab’s teacher training program, and encompasses the many workshops and training opportunities we participate in at all of our locations.
Teaching with Telescopes is designed to help teachers bring small telescopes into the classroom with a focus on the Galileoscope, a low-cost, high-optical-quality telescope designed to let students recreate Galileo’s historic observations.
The Gemini Card Game is a cooperative game for 2 to 4 players who work together to complete science programs over the course of a semester. Experience the complex decisions required to run a world-class observatory and the excitement of contributing to a team as you provide researchers with their precious data and contribute to expanding the knowledge of the Universe.
Globe at Night is an online international citizen science program to raise awareness of the issues of light pollution by inviting people from all over the world to measure and submit their local night sky brightness observations.
Project ASTRO is implemented in partnership with the Astronomical Society of the Pacific and focuses on connecting scientists with teachers and families.
Journey Through the Universe is the longest-running (17 years and counting!) local outreach program in the Gemini North host communities on Hawai‘i Island.
This monthly online program shares the science and technology of NOIRLab with a global audience and features staff, users, and other stakeholders as special guests.
With the support of Kitt Peak National Observatory, NOIRLab (formerly NOAO) has been working with the Tohono O’odham Nation on formal and informal programs since 2006.

The Teen Astronomy Café program is a free out-of-school program that offers high school students opportunities to interact with scientists who work at the forefront of astronomy.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope just scored another first: a molecular and chemical profile of a distant world’s skies.While Webb and other space telescopes, including NASA’s Hubble and Spitzer, previously have revealed isolated ingredients of this broiling planet’s atmosphere, the new readings from Webb provide a full menu of atoms, molecules, and even signs of active chemistry and clouds.
Three different moments in a far-off supernova explosion were captured in a single snapshot by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. The star exploded more than 11 billion years ago, when the universe was less than a fifth of its current age of 13.8 billion years.
