STARS: The Powerhouses of the Universe

Your family will journey through the cosmos in this 30-minute planetarium show that explores the life cycles of stars—from their birth in clouds of gas and dust to their brilliant, explosive ends. The program features stunning animation created by the National Space Centre in Leicester, England, plus the distinctive narration of Mark Hamill. The Nashville Symphony Orchestra performed part of the original score, adding an extra layer of wonder to the experience. This show works well for elementary-aged kids and up who are curious about space and science. Captions are available if needed—just ask a staff member when you arrive at the planetarium. Visit the Adventure Science Center's website for ticket pricing and to purchase admission. The museum itself offers various hours depending on the day, so check before your visit to plan accordingly.
