🔭 Live Astronomy & Stargazing Shows

  • Presenter-led live astronomy shows with Q&A, real-time exploration of the night sky, constellations, and current celestial events.

  • Sessions can include interactive elements, real data from telescopes and ISS links, and engaging space exploration storytelling.
