Come see a tour of the night sky using only the Carl Zeiss M1015 star projector that has been at the planetarium since 1987!

NIYAH AND THE MULTIVERSE
Follow Niyah, an imaginative Chicago preteen, on a visually stunning Afrofuturist journey through the multiverse! If there are countless other universes out there, where does Niyah fit in? What about you? Find out what shape your shadow matter might take and get inspired to dream up multiverse theories of your own. Produced by the Adler Planetarium, and licensed thanks to support from the Friends of the Staerkel Planetarium.
THE LITTLE STAR THAT COULD
Journey with Little Star, an average yellow star, in search of planets of his own to protect and warm. Along the way, he meets other stars, learns what makes each star special, why they are different colors and how they combine to form star clusters and galaxies. Let’s hope a delightful cast of characters including Pearl and Big Daddy can help “Little Star” find some planets!
