When the city of Chicago shut down in March 2020, a small group at The Adler Planetarium was given creative freedom to make something weird, something silly, something new for the historic Chicago museum! ⭐ So, how did the Wow! Signal space comedy show come together? Hear from the team that made it happen!

This behindthescenes documentary of the making of the Wow! Signal space comedy show aired at the international MuseumNext Digital Museum Conference in February 2021.

The Wow! Signal is a production of the Adler Planetarium—the first planetarium in the Western Hemisphere! Located on Chicago’s lakeshore, the museum typically hosts more than half a million visitors each year and reaches millions more through youth STEAM programs, neighborhood skywatching events, peoplepowered research, and other outreach efforts. Today, the Adler is bringing our unique approach—scientific exploration rooted in community and connection—to guests from around the world who can enjoy the digital Adler from their own homes, libraries, schools or offices.
