About this Event

Wonders of Webb invites audiences on a breathtaking journey through the universe as revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope, the most powerful space observatory ever built. Peering deeper into space—and further back in time—than any telescope before it, Webb unveils glowing stellar nurseries, ancient galaxies forming shortly after the Big Bang, and the hidden structures of planets, nebulae, and cosmic dust cloaked from visible light. Using revolutionary infrared vision, this show brings the unseen universe into stunning focus, revealing how stars and galaxies are born, how planetary systems take shape, and how Webb is transforming our understanding of our cosmic origins. Prepare to experience the universe not as we once imagined it, but as it truly is—rich, dynamic, and filled with wonder.

The show will include a live portion including current night sky highlights along with visual tours of some incredible features of the solar system and the universe.

Age-appropriate level: 8 to adult
