UAA Planetarium's 'Search for Life' makes four appearances in March-April; 'Cosmic Collisions' with Robert Redford coming soon

Friday, April 8, 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.

"Search for Life" is making four appearances over the next two months as part of the Search for Life Farewell Tour. This is a high-quality show from the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) and we've only had it on a limited one-year engagement.

For as long as humans have contemplated the cosmos, we have wondered if we are alone. Narrated by Harrison Ford and created in collaboration with NASA, the AMNH's "The Search for Life: Are We Alone?" explores this intriguing question, taking visitors on a fascinating journey through time and space. Breathtaking visualizations based on cutting-edge scientific data will transform your view of the universe to reveal countless worlds that may harbor life. From the depths of the oceans to the outer reaches of the cosmos, "The Search for Life" explores the links between life on Earth and the potential for life on other planets.

At the end of the summer, it will be replaced by our next exciting acquisition from AMNH: "Cosmic Collisions," narrated by Robert Redford.

Remember, you can also come early and "fly standby." We always have at least a handful of tickets available for sale on the night of the show. We begin reselling any unclaimed reserved seats at 10 minutes before showtime. This opportunity is first-come-first served, so we recommend arriving about 30 minutes before the first showtime of the evening if you'd like a fair shot at these seats. Unfortunately, we can't guarantee entry to everyone who arrives without a reservation.
