Journey to the Stars ~ AMNH
Whoopi Goldberg narrates the American Museum of Natural History’s spectacular new Hayden Planetarium Space Show, Journey to the Stars, which opened to the public at the AMNH’s Rose Center for Earth and Space on Saturday, July 4, 2009.
Journey to the Stars launches visitors through time and space to experience the life and death of the stars in our night sky. Audiences travel 13 billion years into the past, when the first stars were born, and witness brilliant supernova explosions that sent new kinds of matter coursing through the universe, into the atoms of our own bodies and the air we breathe. They visit the heart of our fiery Sun, and glimpse its eventual demise as it transforms into a massive red giant some five billion years in the future. Visitors tour stellar formations, explore new celestial mysteries, and discover the fascinating, unfolding story that connects us all to the stars.
Journey To The Stars, written by Emmy award winner Louise A. Gikow with a score by Robert Miller, follows Cosmic Collisions (2006) narrated by Robert Redford, The Search for Life: Are We Alone? (2002) narrated by Harrison Ford, and Passport to the Universe (2000) narrated by Tom Hanks.
The Space Shows are shown every half-hour Saturday–Sunday, 10:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m., and every half-hour, Monday–Friday, 10:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m., except Wednesdays (first show on Wednesday begins at 11:00am).
