Extreme Planets
For centuries, humanity has wondered whether we are alone in the Universe. Now, we are finally one step closer to knowing the answer. With the discovery a decade ago of the first planet orbiting another star, we now know that planets are not unique to our own Solar System. In this original production we'll explore what makes a planet "Earth-like," and take an immersive, all-dome tour of several worlds that just might fit the conditions we're looking for. From water worlds to molten landscapes, inhabitable moons to planets with multiple suns, these exotic worlds aren't just science fiction anymore!
Recommended for ages 5 and up.

Saturn: Jewel of the Heavens
Come voyage out to the mysterious ringed planet, Saturn. It is one of the most beautiful and magnificent planets in the solar system ... a symbol of all that is exotic and wonderful about the universe.
