Earthlight World: An Astronaut’s Journey

Opening June 13

Experience the awe of space through the eyes of astronaut and artist Dr. Sian Proctor, mission pilot of Inspiration4 — the first all-civilian mission to orbit Earth.

Earthlight World (2026)

An immersive journey produced by the Museum of Science, Boston in partnership with commercial astronaut Dr. Sian Proctor and Space2inspire.

This original Planetarium show offers a rare and deeply human perspective on spaceflight. Inspired by her book and personal journey, Dr. Proctor reflects on the transformative experience of seeing Earth from orbit, illuminated by what she calls "Earthlight."  

Blending cutting-edge technology and 360-degree visuals with Dr. Proctor’s voice, artistry, and storytelling, the show weaves together Afrofuturism, poetry, and personal reflection to create a one-of-a-kind immersive journey where art, science, and imagination meet.
