Space & Astronomy resources

Supported by the European Space Agency, European Southern Observatory and CERN we are pleased to bring an array of Space related resources to our Ecsite members.

ESO Supernova has long been a member of Ecsite. The European Southern Observatory (ESO) is the intergovernmental astronomical research organisation.

Thanks to the team at ESO Supernova, in 2026 we will be providing curated resources which are free to use in any Museums or Science Centres, Q&As with scientists for staff of member organisations and much more.

Resources will take the form of Planetarium films, photos, interpretation and even communication materials.

If you are an Ecsite member and would like to contribute to any of these activities email us at members@ecsite.eu.

If you would like to hear more about sponsoring these activities, email us at partner@ecsite.eu.

Ecsite is the European association of science centres, museums, natural history museums, science festivals, aquariums, science communication faculties and all other organisations which communicate science with the public globally.
