STARS: The Powerhouses of the Universe

This planetarium show takes families on a journey through space to explore the life cycles of stars—from their quiet beginnings to dramatic, explosive endings. The 30-minute program combines stunning animation from the National Space Centre in Leicester with an original score performed by the Nashville Symphony Orchestra and features the iconic voice of Mark Hamill. It's a visually immersive experience designed to help kids understand how stars power our universe. The show works well for elementary-aged children and up. Captions are available upon request—just let a staff member know when you arrive at the planetarium. The Adventure Science Center offers the show as part of their regular programming, and you'll want to check their ticketing page for current prices and to purchase admission. This is a great indoor activity that combines entertainment with real science education.
