The Stellars - Misson: Green
2025-03-30 16:30 - 17:15
The Stellars - Mission: Green

The Stellars - Mission: Green is a show aimed at our youngest explorers, ages 3 to 8.
Imani, Aki, and John are three friends from an alien solar system. While on a space exploration mission, something routine for their people, they distractedly neglect their onboard “chores,” leading their ship to crash on an unknown planet – Earth. The accident damages the life-support system that sustains the cherished forest they keep onboard, which gives them their vital Yumi-Plumi fruits. However, forests in their society are usually taken care of by robots.
With no knowledge of plant care or any means of contacting their elders, they are fortunate to be able to turn to the planetarium audience for help. All hope now rests on the Earth children, who help the Stellars discover what plants need to survive and to rescue their Yumi Plumi forest. There is a race against time – will the children be able to figure out the successive elements needed to nourish the plants?
The Stellars - Mission Green premieres in the Sudekum Planetarium June 1, 2025!
