]]> The Universe Through All Senses /calendar/event/the-universe-through-all-senses-2/ Fri, 21 Aug 2026 18:00:00 +0000 /calendar/?post_type=tribe_events&p=12470 When asked to talk about the universe, astronomers will describe it to you in a thousand different ways. Starting with the diverse planets of the Solar System, charming comets, hot stars, and ethereal nebulae, they’ll take you on a journey all the way to galaxies billions of light-years away. Into this mix, they will throw in a bit of mysterious dark matter, a few black holes, a dash of dark energy, and finish it off with a pinch of strange elementary particles.

However, for an ordinary Earthling, such a list of fancy terms feels just like flipping through a cookbook, without being able to taste the individual ingredients, let alone the finished product. That’s why we decided to serve you the universe in a completely different way – You will experience it with all your senses!

Discover what it feels like to touch the universe, what a comet or cosmic space smells like, and even how the Saturn’s moon Enceladus or the planet Mars taste like. Listen to the explosion of a supernova, the rumbling sounds of the Sun, and more. See the glow of auroras and vibrant nebulae. This unconventional sensory-packed show is narrated by Jack Stephens.

Tickets for planetarium programs are $9 for Adults, $8 for 91¸ŁŔű Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens, and $7 for children under 12. Click here to view our .

SPARK: The Universe in Us is about our deep connection not just to Earth, but to stars millions of light years away—and billions of years in the past. Discover the celestial origins of the elements we all have in common. Along the way, you’ll enter the core of a giant star just before it implodes, experience the quiet demise of a star like the Sun, and see how colliding stars seed the Universe with the building blocks of life.
