STEP into the Cosmos
About

We want to share our love of the science of the Universe with everyone, even if they are not familiar with any scientific language. STEP into the Cosmos will introduce you step-by-step into the beauty and magnificence of the night sky, even if you haven't encountered science previously. We are going to increase the number of languages in which our platform is available starting with English and isiXhosa to (we hope!) many more...

If you are fluent in a language that isn't represented here, please get in touch! Please send an email to STEP@globaljetwatch.net.

The wordmark for the Global Jet Watch: STEP into the Cosmos. The left half is taken up by a white outline of a circle, inscribed in which are the letters GJW, a stellar spectrum, and four twinkling stars.
