STARS: The Powerhouses of the Universe

Your family is invited to explore the dramatic life cycles of stars at the Sudekum Planetarium. This 30-minute show takes you on a cosmic journey through stellar creation, brilliant burning phases, and explosive endings—all narrated by Mark Hamill with stunning animation from the National Space Centre in Leicester. The Nashville Symphony Orchestra adds to the experience with an original score that brings the universe to life on the dome screen. It's an awe-inspiring look at how stars power everything around us. This program works well for elementary-age kids and up who are curious about space and science. Captions are available upon request at the planetarium entrance. Tickets can be purchased online, and the museum operates Monday and Thursday from 9am to 3pm, with extended hours Friday through Sunday until 5pm (including summer Fridays).
