Earth from Above, Stars from Within

See our planet as astronauts do. Then slow down and lose yourself beneath the stars. See Earth differently with Bella Gaia and Sunset Meditation. Take a journey around our extraordinary planet and then pause beneath a sky filled with stars. Join us at the Blake Planetarium for an immersive experience that invites you to see Earth from a new perspective and reconnect with the beauty of our shared home. Our feature presentation, Bella Gaia – Beautiful Earth, takes audiences on a spectacular journey around our planet, inspired by the transformative experience astronauts describe when viewing Earth from space. Through a stunning combination of music, imagery, and NASA visualizations of scientific data, travel across continents and cultures, from ancient Egyptian tombs and Indian rituals to cherry blossoms and the vibrant streets of Tokyo and New York. Bella Gaia explores the powerful relationship between human civilization and the natural world, revealing the connections between people, cultures, and Earth's ecosystems. This poetic visual experience offers an opportunity to step back, see our planet as a whole, and consider both its extraordinary beauty and humanity's impact upon it. Then, slow down and experience Sunset Meditation. Travel through a breathtaking sunset journey from the Grand Canyon to the North Pole before settling beneath a peaceful night sky. As stars emerge and glimpses of the Northern Lights appear, a guided meditation experience invites you to relax, reflect, and simply enjoy the wonder of the universe above. Together, these two immersive experiences offer something a little different: an opportunity to look at our planet from above, appreciate the world around us, and take a moment to simply breathe beneath the stars.
