Journey to the stars
Journey to the stars:
"Journey to the Stars" is a new Space Show in the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History's Rose Center for Earth and Space. Featuring extraordinary images from telescopes on the ground and in space and stunning, never-before-seen visualizations of physics-based simulations, "Journey to the Stars" sends visitors through space and time to experience the life and death of the stars in our night sky, including our own nurturing Sun. Supercomputing resources for the show were provided by the Texas Advanced Computing Center at The University of Texas at Austin through the TeraGrid, a project of the National Science Foundation.
