How might Henrietta Leavitt have looked at the night sky that inspired her work? Step outside and look up with The Space Consortium for a guided evening of stargazing. Continuing the journey of Silent Sky, this event invites you to see the heavens as she once did.

Launched in 2017, The Space Consortium is an MA-based, space academics & researchers-led 501(c)(3) non-profit and public charity, which organizes a series of space education & outreach initiatives, including MA Space Week, to help democratize space knowledge and connect MA-based space experts and enthusiasts with each other and with the public. Supported by the Massachusetts Space Grant and motivated by the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, Massachusetts Space Week stands as a testament to grassroots collaboration & community effort among space experts across the state, aiming to make space science accessible to all. This annual, week-long celebration seeks to bridge the gap between academia and the broader community and to foster a shared enthusiasm for space science. Through engaging events such as a Space Film Festival, a Space Careers Fair, and more than 100 space events statewide, The Space Consortium invites you to join this dedicated effort to connect the academic world with the wider community.
