We hosted an exciting Stargazing Party at St. Christopher’s International School,  offering students a unique opportunity to explore the wonders of the night sky. 

The event was designed to spark curiosity and foster a deeper appreciation for astronomy through hands-on telescope observations, planetarium show, astro-quizes and interactive discussions. Students and teachers gathered to observe celestial objects, including the Moon, Saturn, Venus, Jupiter and its Galilean Moons, and star clusters. 

Our team of passionate astronomy facilitators guided attendees through the night sky, explaining key astronomical concepts and sharing fascinating insights about the universe.

This event highlighted the importance of STEM education and space science, making astronomy both fun and educational. By bringing the cosmos closer to young minds, Cosmic Companions Kenya continues to inspire the next generation of scientists, explorers, and space enthusiasts.

On the evening of February 28, 2025, Cosmic Companions Kenya hosted a special Planetary Parade event at Redeemer Hope Church, in Gikambura, Kiambu County where astronomy met faith in a unique stargazing experience. 

This rare celestial alignment provided a breathtaking view of multiple planets visible in the night sky, offering attendees a chance to witness the beauty of the cosmos firsthand.

The event was designed to blend science and spirituality, allowing participants to explore the wonders of creation through both an astronomical and faith-based perspective. Using telescopes and guided explanations, guests observed planets such as Jupiter, Venus, and Mars, while discussions highlighted the significance of the cosmos in both scientific discovery and theological reflection.

This successful event reinforced our mission of making astronomy accessible to all, fostering curiosity, and encouraging deeper engagement with the universe. Cosmic Companions Kenya continues to bring the stars closer to communities through innovative outreach programs.

We kicked off the year with a breathtaking Planetary Parade at The Waterfront Karen, uniting astronomy enthusiasts for a magical night under the stars. This extraordinary event featured planetary viewing, insightful space talks, and immersive planetarium shows, offering a truly engaging cosmic experience.

With powerful telescopes, guests observed a stunning alignment of Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus, guided by our passionate facilitators who shared in-depth knowledge about each celestial body. The space talks explored planetary science, space exploration, and the significance of celestial events, sparking curiosity and wonder. Meanwhile, the planetarium shows took audiences on a mesmerizing journey across the universe, from distant galaxies to breathtaking nebulae.

Blending education, exploration, and entertainment, this event reaffirmed Cosmic Companions Kenya’s commitment to making astronomy accessible and inspiring a love for the cosmos. As we expand our outreach, we invite more people to look up, dream big, and discover the wonders of space. 🚀✨

We had the privilege of conducting an astronomy mentorship session during the Nairobi Scouts Camp, inspiring young minds with the wonders of the universe. This interactive session introduced scouts to the cosmos, the solar system, and hands-on telescope collimation, equipping them with both knowledge and practical skills.

Through engaging discussions, scouts explored the scale and structure of the universe, learning about planets, stars, and galaxies. The solar system segment provided insights into planetary orbits, space exploration, and the role of Earth in the vast cosmic landscape. A highlight of the session was the telescope collimation workshop, where scouts gained hands-on experience aligning an optical telescope for clear and precise observations.

This mentorship session blended education and practical learning, fostering curiosity and encouraging the next generation of space explorers. Cosmic Companions Kenya remains dedicated to making astronomy accessible to young learners across the country.
