This 24-minute fulldome movie explores humanity's deep connection to stars existing millions of light-years away and billions of years in the past.
Where did the building blocks of life come from? The answer lies in the hearts of distant stars and incredibly powerful explosions such as supernovae, which help spread fundamental elements to galaxies far and wide where they can spark new life.
Narrated by Diego Luna, the California Academy of Sciences’ original planetarium film "Spark: The Universe in Us" explores how hundreds of millions of celestial events have forged the elements that make up the Solar System, Earth, and us.
Travel deep inside a giant star nearing the end of its life, witness the collision of stellar corpses, and experience the quiet demise of a star like the Sun. From the oxygen we breathe to the iron in our blood, the silicon in Earth’s mantle to the uranium that warms our planet’s core and helps give our planet its protective magnetic field, we owe it all to the stars!
