Since Slooh’s founding, our mission has been built on a simple conviction: the universe belongs to everyone. Our telescopes in Chile, Australia, and the Canary Islands have given hundreds of thousands of people direct, real-time access to the night sky—to galaxies, nebulae, planets, and the quiet wonder of looking up. Today, we’re expanding what “looking up” means. I’m thrilled to announce that Dr. Moriba Jah—one of the most important thinkers working at the intersection of s

International Dark Sky Week runs April 13–20, 2026. This year's theme is "Go Dark." Here's how to prepare—one page at a time. When was the last time you looked up and truly saw the night sky?

At Slooh, we believe the universe belongs to everyone. But making that vision a reality requires more than great technology — it requires extraordinary partners. Slooh's global telescope network operates from three of the most prestigious observatory sites on Earth, spanning three continents and covering both hemispheres. Each site was chosen for a reason: proven atmospheric quality, world-class infrastructure, and partnerships with institutions at the forefront of astronomic
