Asteroids: Discover, Danger, and Dinosaurs
In 1980, a new, wild theory emerged: could an asteroid be the cause of one of nature's greatest mysteries, the extinction of the dinosaurs? This live show explores asteroids from their 1801 discovery to the proof that one such asteroid did in fact end the time of the dinosaurs. We'll look at what happened on that 'last day of the dinosaurs' 67 million years ago, and look at what NASA is doing now to prevent such impacts in the future.
Journey to the Planets
Find out what makes planets different from stars as we explore the motion of the planets in the night sky. Learn how to spot them in the sky, then travel to all of our solar system's planets. You will also see them close-up, as observed by NASA's robot probes.
Space Trip
Embark on a journey into deep space at our wide-ranging planetarium show, Space Trip.
Ride a roller coaster on Mars, voyage through the rings of Saturn, travel to the heart of a nebula, and visit the realm of the galaxies, all before reaching the edge of the known universe.
One World, One Sky: Big Bird's Adventure
