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 new live-action IMAX formatted show explores the dramatic and savage lives of a praying mantis and a beautiful butterfly in the rainforests of Borneo.

Recommended for general audiences.
Themes: Entomology, life cycles, insect diversity
