Journey to the Stars

Our journey to the stars spans billions of years, beginning on Earth and extending through time and space until returning home. Discover the history of our universe, from the birth of stars from hydrogen, helium gas and dark matter, to the development of star clusters and planets to the present day demonstration of how stars work–including phenomena such as million-degree corona blasts to the fusion of atomic nuclei. Using our familiar night sky, viewers will see how the stars go through this life process and learn what stars have made possible. (2009, 24:30 min.)
