Planetarium: Passport to the Universe (2017)

Now with updated visual effects, the breathtaking “Passport to the Universe” reveals the wonders of our universe in a way never before possible in a planetarium, and brings this New York show to Gainesville!

Narrated by two-time Academy Award winner Tom Hanks, Passport to the Universe treats the audience to realistic close-up views of star fields and planets, taking them on an exhilarating flight through a virtual re-creation of our universe, into the Orion Nebula, out of our galaxy, and deep into intergalactic space. After reaching the edges of our known universe, the tour takes a “virtual shortcut” back to Earth – in a free fall, headlong through a black hole.

(A production of the American Museum of Natural History and the California Academy of Sciences.)
