The Voyager Encounters
The Voyager Encounters - This is the definitive summary, recapping all of Voyager's encounters with Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune in one convenient, thorough documentary. The show discusses the functions of Voyager's instrument packages; the highlights of each flyby; and compares and contrasts each of the planets' atmospheres and magnetic fields, their moons and ring systems. Age appropriate for 13 and up.

 

The Little Star That Could
The Little Star That Could — The universe can be a scary place if you are little — even if you are a little star. Travel with a lonely, “just average” star as it wanders through space in search of companion planets to give it an identity all its own. Along the way, Little Star visits with other types of stars, young and old, hot and cool, and eventually learns of its own special place in space. The show is geared to audiences Pre K through 1st Grade - shown only by request during school field trips.
 

WSKY: Radio Station of the Stars
"WSKY: Radio Station of the Stars" is hosted by a pair of fictional DJs and is patterned after a Top 40 radio station. The show includes original hit singles, call-in segments with Dr. Cosmos, interplanetary weather reports, Solar System traffic reports, cosmic news and much more! This show is most appropriate for elementary and middle school aged audiences.

MarsQuest
MarsQuest - Come along on a journey to Mars - the Red Planet. Narrated by Star Trek's Patrick Stewart, this show traces Mars through history, from its "War God" name to the infamous "canals" which led to science fiction stories about Martians. Learn about past and current missions to Mars, from Viking to Pathfinder, and about the possibility of one day sending crewed missions to the planet. Appropriate for all ages.
