In this show narrated by Frances McDormand\, discover the beauty\, variety\, and vast complexity of these relationships. \nThrough stunning visualizations of the natural world\, dive below the ocean’s surface to explore the dynamic relationships found in kelp forest ecosystems\, travel beneath the forest floor to see how Earth’s tallest trees rely on tiny fungi to survive\, and journey to new heights to witness the intricate intersection between human and ecological networks. \nLiving networks connect and support life forms large and small—from colonies of tiny microbes and populations of massive whales to ever-expanding human societies. In this production by the California Academy of Sciences\, discover what it means to live in today’s connected world. \nYou’ll learn how life changes our planet and how we benefit from our connections to the life that surrounds us. \n23 minutes\nRecommended for ages 8 and up URL:https://www.adventuresci.org/explore/habitat-earth-6/2026-04-20/ LOCATION:Adventure Science Center\, Nashville CATEGORIES:Planetarium,Public Events,Special Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.adventuresci.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/habitatearthweb169.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260420T141500 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260420T144500 DTSTAMP:20260405T101348 CREATED:20240329T194048Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240329T194048Z UID:26446-1776694500-1776696300@www.adventuresci.org SUMMARY:Mars: The Ultimate Voyage DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \n\nWhat will it take to get to Mars?\nExplore this question in the new planetarium show Mars: The Ultimate Voyage.

Are you a Sulu or a Worf?    Starfleet Science Desk: Stop and “beam” your out-of-this-world questions to the Spock of our community; the students of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Vanderbilt University. Geordi VISOR Eye Exam Station: Spectroscopy is a critical sensor technology that bridges real-world science with science fiction.  Like Geordi\, slip on these diffraction glasses and try to identify the gas inside the plasma tubes  Borg Geometry Challenge: In the pursuit of perfection\, one only needs to look to BUBBLES.  Make a geometric bubble wand and see how the bubble solution achieves perfect symmetry.  Tardigrade Examination: A tardigrade (aka water bear) was once captured by the USS Discovery.  Exam these indestructible life forms under a microscope and attempt to determine how they can survive the most extreme conditions like dehydration\, freezing temperatures\, and radiation.   Mushroom Brick Building: The USS Discovery utilizes experimental “spore drive” to enable instantaneous travel.  See the real-life science behind mycology and the potential of fungi in bioremediation.  Suliban Cloaking Device: Scientists have engineered invisibility cloaks using passive optical devices to bend light.  Step behind the shield and experience the warping skills of a Suilban.  Vulcan Lute: Like the Vulcan Lute\, the theremin produces haunting\, ethereal tones meant to feel alien and futuristic.  Stop by and create a melody worthy of Spock’s admiration.    Frontier Past Times: Enjoy a quick game of tri-dimensional chess or poker and challenge your Vulcan skill of logic with a host of brain teasing puzzles.   Starfleet Badge Credentialing: Use space-age polymers to create your own Starfleet delta. This project takes sheer human brain power and creative skills to produce. No replicators allowed!  Interested in volunteering for this event? Sign up here!
