World Space Week: brief history

World Space Week is an international celebration held annually from October 4 to October 10. It celebrates the contribution of space science to the development of our civilization and the improvement of our lives. Its purpose is to educate people around the world about space, popularize astronomy, and other space-related subjects.

The holiday was created during the session of the UN General Assembly in 1999. The dates of World Space Week were chosen to commemorate two important events: the launch of the first human-made Earth satellite – USSR’s Sputnik 1 – on October 4, 1957, and the signing of the Outer Space Treaty on October 10, 1967.

When is World Space Week 2025?

World Space Week 2025 begins on Saturday, October 4, and ends on Friday, October 10. The dates of the World Space Week are fixed and do not correspond to the actual calendar week.

What is World Space Week 2025 theme?

Each year, a theme is chosen for World Space Week. The theme for World Space Week 2025 is “Living in Space.” This year, the focus is on how humanity is preparing to make space a livable environment through cutting-edge technology, problem-solving, and global cooperation.

The World Space Week Association encourages you to incorporate the 2025 theme into your activities, but any space-related event taking place from October 4-10 can be recognized as an official World Space Week event. Take inspiration from previous World Space Week themes from 2000 to 2022.

World Space Week activities: how to celebrate?

• Visit a space event near you: Local planetariums and observatories often host special events like stargazing sessions or educational talks.

• Celebrate from home: Watch a space-themed movie, read a sci-fi book, try one of our quizzes or craft a space object with your kids.

• Use astronomy apps to explore the sky: Whether you’re an astronomy pro or just beginning your adventure, Sky Tonight and Star Walk 2 apps can help you discover the beauty of the universe.

Bonus section: What to see in the night sky this week?

If you're new to stargazing, no worries! Here are some tips on what to observe during World Space Week on October 4-10:

• The Harvest Supermoon: The Full Moon on October 7 will be 6.6% larger and 13% brighter than average! This occurs because the Full Moon is located near perigee, which is the closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth. This event is called a Supermoon. However, the size change is so subtle that you probably won’t notice a difference. See our infographic to learn more about Supermoons and Micromoons.

• Planets: Saturn is still well-placed after its September opposition, Venus shines bright as the “Morning Star,” and Jupiter is a reliable bright target. Uranus and Neptune are also visible at night, but require powerful binoculars or a telescope. Mars and Mercury aren’t well-placed for observations.

• Constellations: In the Northern Hemisphere, October is the best time to observe Cassiopeia, Pegasus, and Andromeda. In the Southern Hemisphere, it’s time to gaze at Tucana, Aquarius, and Cetus. These are, however, just a few of the constellations. There are others that are visible all year round and smaller, fainter ones that you can also try to spot.

• Deep-sky objects: Under a clear, dark sky, you can spot some deep-sky objects even with the naked eye. In October, if you're in the Northern Hemisphere, try to find the Andromeda Galaxy in the constellation Andromeda. In the Southern Hemisphere, look out for the Small Magellanic Cloud in Tucana.
