Passport to the Universe & Life and Death in the Winter Sky
Thursday, January 22, 2026
6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Get ready for a weekly double-feature to kick off the new year! Every Thursday in January, relax with a snack and a fully immersive movie in the EcoTarium’s 4K planetarium, then dive deeper with an interactive experience with one of our resident experts.
In Passport to the Universe, Tom Hanks narrates a trip into the Solar System, through the Orion Nebula, out to the edge of the observable universe, and back to Earth through a black hole simulation.
After the break, take an interactive trip across the winter sky from newborn stars to some of the oldest stars in the universe from the comfort of the Alden Planetarium.
