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. \nWith 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? \nThe Stellars - Mission Green premieres in the Sudekum Planetarium June 1\, 2025! \n\n\n\n\n English \n\n Español de México English\n\n\n\n  URL:https://www.adventuresci.org/explore/the-stellars-misson-green/2025-03-30/ CATEGORIES:Planetarium ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.adventuresci.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/title.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250421T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250421T150000 DTSTAMP:20260405T161611 CREATED:20250320T185835Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250326T175531Z UID:24154-1745226000-1745247600@www.adventuresci.org SUMMARY:Earth Day with HCA DESCRIPTION:Monday\, April 21 | 9:00 am to 3:00 pmCelebrate Earth Day with us this April! \nStaff members and volunteers from HCA Healthcare will be on-site at the science center on Monday\, April 21\, to lead activities about ecology and sustainability on the floor and in the i2 Makerspace. \nSpecial thanks to HCA for donating their time to the science center.
