STARS: The Powerhouses of the Universe

This planetarium show takes you on a cosmic journey exploring how stars form, live, and die across the universe. You'll discover that each star has its own incredible story—from dim, ancient stars to brilliant ones that end in spectacular explosions. Along the way, you'll witness the energy that powers everything around us. The 30-minute presentation features stunning animation from the National Space Centre in Leicester, plus the distinctive voice of Mark Hamill narrating your adventure through the galaxy. The show is recommended for elementary-aged children and older, making it a great choice for families wanting to spark curiosity about space and science. Captions are available upon request—just let a team member know when you arrive at the planetarium. The experience combines dramatic visuals with an original score performed by the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, creating an engaging introduction to astronomy that's both beautiful and awe-inspiring. Tickets can be purchased through the Adventure Science Center's website.
