The night sky, both beautiful and mysterious, has been thesubject of campfire stories, ancient myths and awe for as long as there havebeen people. A desire to comprehend the Universe may well be humanity's oldestshared intellectual experience. Yet only recently have we truly begun to graspour place in the vast cosmos.
This stunning voyage through space and time conveys, through sparkling sightsand sounds, the Universe revealed to us by science. From Earth to the Universetakes the audience out to the colorful birthplaces and burial grounds of stars,and still further out beyond the Milky Way to the unimaginable immensity of amyriad galaxies. Along the way, the audience will learn about the history ofastronomy, the invention of the telescope, and today's giant telescopes thatallow us to probe ever deeper into the Universe.

The Sun has shone on our world for four and a half billion years. The light that warms our skin today has been felt by every person who has ever lived. It is our nearest star and our planet's powerhouse, the source of the energy that drives our winds, our weather and all life. The passage of the Sun's fiery disc across the sky — day by day, month by month —was the only way to keep track of time for countless past civilizations. Don't be fooled by the terminology; although it is a typical dwarf star, the Sun consumes 600 million tons of hydrogen each second and is 500 times as massive as all the planets combined. Discover the secrets of our star in this planetarium show and experience never-before-seen images of the Sun's violent surface in immersive full dome format.
