The ancient Greeks told many heart-rending love stories that have been passed down through the ages, and the stories connect to the constellations in the night sky. You’ll hear about Queen Cassiopeia and Cepheus, about Cassiopeia’s beautiful daughter Andromeda and the hero Perseus, and about all-powerful Zeus and his love for the nymph Callisto. These and other timeless tales are written in the stars and explored in the “When You Wish Upon a Star” tour of the night sky.

Narrated by George Takei, our newest original planetarium show explores asteroids, comets, and the hard-hitting stories of our cosmic origins.
Embark on a journey back in time and across the Solar System, following the paths of asteroids and comets that have collided with Earth—and those that roam far from home. These ancient objects travel billions of years before reaching Earth, and their impact can be so powerful that just one collision can change the course of life on our planet.

This is our "classic" night sky show, but not like you remember it! Take a relaxing look at the night sky as one of our skilled "Console Captains" gives you a guided tour of the stars, planets, constellations and current events happening in the night sky. This live show is never the same and there is always a surprise in store.

Recommended for general audiences.
