“3-2-1 Liftoff!”
Hamster scientist Elon lives in a junk yard. He tries to fit in with the local rats' community but nobody takes him or his (frequently unsuccessful) scientific experiments seriously. One day, with a loud crash, a crater appears in his garden with a damaged robot inside. How did he get here? Elon fixes the robot, discovering that he fell from a spaceship readying for a mission to colonize Mars. With the ship leaving in three days, can Elon return the robot to his friends onboard the ship before its departure? Find out in this animated adventure about the courage and wits needed to get to space and back.

“Birth of Planet Earth” (w/ live sky tour)
In the fiery beginnings of our young solar system, worlds are born and obliterated. Gas giants stir chaos. And a young sun vents its rage. How did Earth survive against all odds? This eye-opening fulldome documentary tracks the perilous path our planet took in its early years through advanced, data-driven, cinema-quality CGI. It explores some of the greatest questions in science today: How did Earth become a living planet? What does its history tell us about our chances of finding other worlds that are truly Earth-like?

“Violent Universe: Catastrophes of the Cosmos” (w/ live sky tour)
Few things appear more peaceful than a quiet, starry sky. Year after year the same stars return, apparently inhabiting a tranquil and unchanging universe. Yet terrific, unseen forces shape the cosmos. Galaxies collide; supernova explosions rip stars apart, blasting deadly gamma rays across space; black holes in the hearts of galaxies devour whole stars; asteroids and comets streak past, occasionally crashing into Earth and catastrophically disrupting its ecosystems. In reality, the universe is a violent and dangerous place. What dangers lurk out there, and how safe is our planet?
After the show, a live show presenter takes you on a tour of the current night sky, including tips for locating the planets, how to find constellations, and ancient myths about the stars.
