Planetarium Show: Pop Stars of the Universe

Mar 20 — Jun 20, 2026

Details

Coming Soon to Shafran Planetarium

The stars in our sky have fascinated and stunned humans for millennia, leading to a big question: Where did we come from?

With the aid of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), we can now look farther and deeper into the Universe than ever before! Visit the Shafran Planetarium to learn how stars “popped” in powerful explosions, distributing the elements needed for future stellar generations, and for a look at what the JWST is finding out about the first stars born in the Universe.
