Cultural elements

Astronism in Tuvalu refers to the presence of the Astronist philosophy and religion in the Oceanian island nation of Tuvalu. The operations of the Astronist Institution in this country are under jurisdiction of the Astronist Superiate of Tuvalu, a national subsidiary of the worldwide Astronist Institution.

The Astronist Superiate of Tuvalu oversees the construction and maintenance of observatories and planetariums throughout its jurisdiction. Tuvalu is split into six atolls and three reef islands, and is set to hold one Grand Observatory in the capital of Funafuti.

This national branch of the Astronist Institution manages the official representation and depiction of Astronism throughout this territory, including efforts to protect the identity of the philosophy with the intention of further disseminating it throughout the territory.

It is the Institution alone that is granted the status of proprietor to the philosophy in this territory as any other organisations or institutions proclaiming such a role are deemed as unauthorised proprietors and are therefore considered as part of the anti-Institutionist movement.

History of Astronism in Tuvalu[]

As of December 2020, Astronism is not recognised as a valid religion or religious group in the country of Tuvalu. According to the Astronist Institution's late 2020 report called the Demographics of Astronism, Tuvalu had a population of 65 Astronists, up from 60 Astronists living in Tuvalu as reported in 2019.

Despite their unrecognised status, Astronists enjoy relative religious liberties in the country and can practice and profess their faith openly and publicly without fear of repression or incident.
