Planet Nine
In July 2015, the New Horizons spacecraft gave us our first close look at Pluto, the most famous dwarf planet in the outskirts of our Solar System. The New Horizons flyby was big news, and the pictures it continues to send back to Earth reveal a world far more complex than anyone realized. Using nothing but their wits (and high-powered telescopes and a thorough understanding of orbital mechanics), these intrepid explorers are making new discoveries about how our Solar System formed—and what it may be hiding. Recommended for middle school age and up. 30 minutes.

Black Holes: the Other Side of Infinity
Narrated by Academy-Award nominated actor Liam Neeson, this cutting-edge fulldome production features high-resolution, animated visualizations of cosmic phenomena, working with data generated by computer simulations. Audiences will be dazzled with striking, immersive animations of the formation of the early universe, star birth and death, the collision of giant galaxies, and a simulated flight to a supermassive black hole lurking at the center of our own Milky Way Galaxy. Recommended for high school age and up. 24 minutes.
