Big Astronomy, or Astronomía a Gran Escala, is a multifaceted research and outreach project, supported by several partners and funded by the National Science Foundation, that showcases the award-winning bilingual planetarium show Big Astronomy: People, Places, Discoveries. The planetarium show transports viewers to Chile where the dark skies and dry, remote setting create ideal conditions for observing the Universe. Against a backdrop of breathtaking visuals and a hypnotic soundtrack, Big Astronomy introduces the diverse people who push the limits of technology, enable scientific discovery and expand what we know about the Universe using state-of-the-art telescopes.
