Connect with us from wherever you are!

Adler Planetarium digital series are unlike anything offered by other museums. Nowhere else will viewers find experiences like live video chats with astronomers who can help you find celestial objects in your neighborhood sky; a musical sketch comedy show that teaches space science in an approachable manner; or time-relevant tours of the night sky with stunning space visualizations. Our collection of digital programs helps us connect with our neighbors while reaching new audiences in Chicagoland and all over the world.
