Description:
Narrated by Academy Award winner Whoopi Goldberg this show features extraordinary images from ground- and space-based telescopes. Experience stunning, never-before-seen visualizations of physics-based simulations. This show launches visitors through space and time to experience the life and death of the stars in our night sky, including our own nurturing Sun. Tour familiar stellar formations, explore new celestial mysteries, and discover the fascinating, unfolding story that connects us all to the stars. Those who come along for the journey may never see the night sky in the same way again.

Journey to the Stars is an engrossing, immersive theater experience created by the astrophysicsts of the Rose Center for Earth and Space of the American Museum of Natural History. Scientific visualization and media production experts worked with NASA and more than 40 leading scientists from the United States and abroad to create this visual wonder.
