One World, One Sky

Sesame Street's Big Bird and Elmo explore the night sky with Hu Hu Zhu.

Travel with the three friends on an imaginary trip from Sesame Street to the moon, where they discover how different it is from Earth. Discover a brilliant spectacle of light and color as you watch the stars twinkle over Sesame Street and interact with the show as you draw constellations and count the time it takes the sun to set.

Nurture your natural sense of wonder about the night sky and forge cross-cultural connections while learning about the sky. This astronomy feature is followed by a live presentation that allows you to explore the stars like never before.

The Dome illuminates our world with stunning clarity and brilliance on its gigantic 40-foot screen. Adventurers of all ages can experience the Moon and look down at Earth without leaving their seats.

Explore The Dome with your group today—it's yours to discover! For details on adding an astronomy show to your visit, check our field trip page to get started.
