Journey through space and time to examine life as an essential quality of our home planet and see how light and color can help us spot a living world, even from great distances.

Supervolcanoes
Supervolcanoes is an immersive planetarium show that looks back at rare classes of eruptions that have marshalled the energy that lurks, like a sleeping dragon, beneath the surface of planet Earth. The program moves beyond Earth to explore the impact of giant volcanic eruptions around our solar system. Audiences will fly down to Neptune’s frigid moon Triton, and onto the ultimate volcanic world: Jupiter’s moon Io. On a visit to a legendary North America hot spot, Yellowstone National Park, the film asks: can a supervolcano erupt in our time?
