Take A 'Journey To The Stars' Without Leaving NYC

stars0720.jpg

Journey to the Stars, a spectacular new Hayden Planetarium Space Show narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Whoopi Goldberg, launches visitors through time and space to experience the life and death of the stars in our night sky.

Travel 13 billion years into the past, when the first stars were born, and witness brilliant supernova explosions that formed new kinds of atoms and sent them coursing through the universe, even into our own bodies and the air we breathe.

Visit the heart of our fiery Sun, and glimpse its eventual demise after it transforms into an enormous red giant some five billion years in the future. Explore our galactic neighborhood, unveil new celestial mysteries, and discover the fascinating, unfolding story that connects us all to the stars.


Journey to the Stars was developed by the American Museum of Natural History, New York in collaboration with the California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco; GOTO INC, Tokyo, Japan; Papalote, Museo del Niño, Mexico City, Mexico; and Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, Washington, D.C.

Journey to the Stars was created by the American Museum of Natural History, with the major support and partnership of NASA, Science Mission Directorate, Heliophysics Division.

Made possible through the generous sponsorship of Lockheed Martin Corporation and proudly sponsored by Accenture.

Supercomputing resources provided by the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin, through the TeraGrid, a project of the National Science Foundation.
