STARS: The Powerhouses of the Universe

This planetarium show takes viewers on a journey through the cosmos to explore the life cycle of stars—from their birth in clouds of gas and dust to their dramatic final explosions. The 30-minute program features narration by Mark Hamill and stunning visuals created by the National Space Centre in Leicester, along with an original score performed by the Nashville Symphony Orchestra. It's a visually captivating way for kids to understand the forces that power our universe. The show works well for elementary-aged children and older, though younger kids may find the length manageable. Closed captions are available upon request—just let a team member know when you arrive at the planetarium. Tickets can be purchased online, and the museum operates extended summer hours on Fridays if you're planning an outing.
