One World, One Sky is a 27-minute full dome planetarium show that follows Sesame Street’s Big Bird and Elmo as they explore the night sky with Hu Hu Zhu, a Muppet from Zhima Jie, the Chinese co-production of Sesame Street. Together, they take an imaginary trip from Sesame Street to the moon, where they discover how different it is from Earth. At the end of the show, Big Bird, Elmo, and Hu Hu Zhu pick a friendship star to remind them that no matter how far apart they might be, they can always look into the night sky and cherish their shared memories.
One World, One Sky is a production of Adler Planetarium, Sesame Workshop, Beijing Planetarium, and Liberty Science Center and was produced with major support from the National Science Foundation. One World, One Sky is distributed by Loch Ness Productions.
Show time: 12 PM suitable for all ages.

Phantom of the Universe: The Hunt for Dark Matter
“Phantom of the Universe” is a 28 minute planetarium show that showcases an exciting exploration of dark matter. The show covers dark matter from the Big Bang to galaxies to a deep underground experiment to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The show has sound from an Academy Award winning team at Skywalker Sound, and features Academy Award winner Tilda Swinton as narrator. The show reveals the first hints of its existence through the eyes of Fritz Zwicky, the scientist who coined the term “dark matter.” It describes the astral choreography witnessed by Vera Rubin in the Andromeda galaxy and then plummets deep underground to see the most sensitive dark matter detector on Earth, housed in a former gold mine. From there, it journeys across space and time to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, speeding alongside particles before they collide in visually stunning explosions of light and sound, while learning how scientists around the world are collaborating to track down the constituents of dark matter.
Show time: 2PM, suitable for ages 9 and up
Admission $10.00 per person.
