Light up the cold dark season with a warm and bright holiday show!
We explore the reasons humans are so fascinated with lighting up our lives during the December holiday season. It's an exploration of the astronomical meanings behind seasonal traditions, including the "Star over Bethlehem".
'Season of Light' is visually rich, culturally inclusive, musically satisfying, and soothing as a warm drink on a cold winter's night.
Birth of Planet Earth
A Fulldome Planetarium Program

For ages 8 and up
The story of our home planet, answering the age-old question: how did our planet come to support life? Going back billions of years to the Milky Way galaxy, this giant screen science documentary employs advanced data-driven, cinematic-quality visualizations to explore some of the biggest questions in science today: How did we become a living planet, and what does history tell us about finding other life in the universe among a billion other Earth-size planets scientists believe exist today? This program explains what it took to achieve Planet Earth’s wonder – and how the aftershocks of a supernova, the violence of Jupiter, a chance collision with the proto-planet Theia, the gift of a moon, and water combined to make life possible.
