Full-dome video requested. [The standard planetarium show is 1 full-dome video and a 15-min live narration of the constellations overhead. If you would like to customize it further, please select other and add in comments in the following text box.]*

New Horizons- follow a comet on a journey through the Solar System. From breathtaking landscapes to violent volcanic eruptions to the sheer beauty of Saturn’s rings, explore the planets and moons of the solar system in a majestic journey through our celestial neighborhood. Audiences will travel down to the surface of the planets, and experience what life would be like from those brave new worlds.
The Little Star that Could- young children can follow one little star’s journey to find a name and family of its own in the animated space show. Little Star, an average yellow star, searches for planets of his own to protect and warm.
Wonders of the Universe- peer deep into space through the eyes of the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope and travel back billions of years in time to witness the birth of the universe. On this breathtaking excursion, you’ll witness the formation of galaxies and explore some of the most wondrous nebulae and astronomical structures yet discovered.
Secret Lives of Stars- goes into depth about the actual nature of stars. The audience will learn that not all stars are created equal. Some are massive. Others are tiny; almost insignificant. The specific characteristics of a star will determine what type of life it will lead, how long it might live and even the type of death it will die. We will witness the amazing variety of stars and peer into their secret lives.
Black Holes- includes animations of the formation of the early universe, star birth and death, the collision of giant galaxies, and a simulated flight to a super-massive black hole lurking at the center of our own Milky Way Galaxy.
Violent Universe- shows the beauty of a starlit sky conceals the violent forces at work within our universe. From the upheaval of a giant star that explodes to release its material into space, to a future encounter between the Earth and a large asteroid that is too close for comfort, we will witness the forces that hold the universe together and occasionally try to rip it apart.
