STARS

Discover the cosmic journey at the Carmel Planetarium's new show, which takes audiences through the complete life cycle of stars—from their birth in clouds of gas and dust to their spectacular endings. You'll explore how our understanding of these celestial objects has evolved over time, learning that every star has its own unique story to tell. Some shine faintly in the background while others blaze brightly before ending in dramatic explosions. Throughout their existence, stars generate the energy that powers everything in the Universe. This immersive program features striking animation created by the National Space Centre in Leicester, England, paired with narration by actor Mark Hamill. The experience is enhanced by original music performed by the Nashville Symphony Orchestra. It's a wonderful choice for families curious about space and astronomy, offering both the awe-inspiring beauty and raw power of the cosmos. Settle in for an engaging evening that brings the wonders of our galaxy right to the planetarium.
