UNIVERSAL VISIONS
Discover the cosmos like never before. Universal Visions showcases breathtaking deep space images—captured entirely by attendees of the Adirondack Sky Center’s annual Astrophotography Conference.
These large-format, high-resolution prints reveal swirling galaxies, glowing nebulae, and brilliant star clusters—all photographed under the pristine dark skies of Tupper Lake. Whether you're a longtime stargazer or simply curious, this exhibition offers a rare look at the universe through the lenses of passionate amateur and professional astrophotographers from across the country.
All images were taken at the Roll Off Roof Observatory during four nights of exclusive imaging time, guided by expert instructors as part of the Sky Center’s nationally recognized conference.
ANOTHER STEP FORWARD
The Adirondack Sky Center & Observatory recently acquired a cutting-edge digital StarLab portable planetarium. This new addition has already made its mark by traveling to schools in the area, bringing the wonders of the universe directly to students. The mobile planetarium provides an immersive experience that captivates young minds and fosters a deeper interest in astronomy.
Beyond its travels to educational institutions, the StarLab will feature regularly scheduled shows for the community at our new 68 Park Street location. These shows will offer a unique opportunity for residents and visitors to explore the cosmos in an interactive and engaging manner. The portable planetarium’s advanced technology ensures that each presentation is both educational and visually stunning, making it a valuable asset for the Adirondack Sky Center & Observatory.
The acquisition of the StarLab represents a significant step toward the construction of a permanent planetarium at our existing property on 178 Big Wolf Road in Tupper Lake. By demonstrating the community’s interest and support for such initiatives, the StarLab helps build momentum for this ambitious project. The goal is to create a state-of-the-art facility that will serve as a hub for astronomical education and outreach in the region. With the StarLab, the Adirondack Sky Center & Observatory continues to expand its reach and impact. This innovative tool not only enhances current programming but also lays the groundwork for future developments that will further enrich the community’s understanding and appreciation of the universe.
Stay tuned for announcements about upcoming StarLab shows and other exciting developments at the Adirondack Sky Center & Observatory. The journey to the stars has never been more accessible, and the future looks bright for astronomy enthusiasts in Tupper Lake and beyond. School visits with the new digital StarLab booked for STEM & Astronomy throughout the Adirondacks.
