8:00 p.m. – “THE SKY TONIGHT” – Children must be 6 and above to attend. This program takes the audience on a “live” tour of the wonders of the San Antonio sky.

9:30 p.m. – DOUBLE FEATURE, “SECRET LIVES OF STARS” AND “VIOLENT UNIVERSE”
“SECRET LIVES OF STARS” – Children must be 6 and above to attend. Not all stars are created equal. Some are massive. Others are tiny; almost insignificant. The specific characteristics of a star will determine what type of life it will lead, how long it might live and even the type of death it will die. We will witness the amazing variety of stars and peer into their secret lives. Narrated by Sir Patrick Stewart of TV's Star Trek: The Next Generation.

“VIOLENT UNIVERSE” – Children must be 6 and above to attend. The beauty of a starlit sky conceals the violent forces at work within our universe. From the upheaval of a giant star that explodes to release its material into space, to a future encounter between the Earth and a large asteroid that passes too close for comfort, we will witness that hold the universe together and occasionally try to rip it apart. Narrated by Sir Patrick Stewart of TV's Star Trek: The Next Generation. Show duration for double feature: 1 hour. Tickets go on sale at 9:00pm.
