Could there be life on other planets?

Join us on the rooftop of the Astronomy Discovery Center at the Dark Sky Planetarium for Strange New Worlds, a live, outdoor presentation. Under Flagstaff’s breathtaking dark skies, we’ll tackle one of the universe’s most profound questions: Are we alone?

This immersive show takes you beyond our solar system to explore planets orbiting distant stars and the search for life across the cosmos.
