Buckle up for the ultimate cosmic road trip. Narrated by Academy Award winner Tom Hanks, Passport to the Universe takes you on an exhilarating journey through space and time, from our familiar blue planet to the very edge of the observable universe. Fly beneath the majestic rings of Saturn, navigate through the heart of the Orion Nebula where new stars are born, and plunge into the event horizon of a black hole. This American Museum of Natural History production, updated with the latest astronomical data and stunning visualizations, transforms complex cosmology into an accessible, awe-inspiring adventure. Experience the universe at scales that dwarf human comprehension—from our solar system to our galaxy to the vast cosmic web that connects billions of galaxies. As Hanks' warm narration reminds us that we're all made of stardust, you'll gain a profound new perspective on humanity's place in the cosmos. The New York Times called it "stunning," and The New Yorker declared it "as exciting as anything in a theme park, yet with great authority."

Also, on August 8, catch the Perseids Meteor Shower Primer with stargazing, science, and space stories at the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre.
