The universe is home to objects so massive, so powerful, and so strange that they push the limits of what we can imagine. In this collection of four animated planetarium shorts, we journey to the extremes of the cosmos—from stars so enormous they could swallow our entire solar system, to black holes that devour everything in their path, to the blazing quasars that outshine entire galaxies, to the impossibly dense remnants of dead stars where a single teaspoon weighs more than a mountain. Get ready to discover the titans of the universe. The presentation opens with an immersive live tour of tonight’s sky—an engaging experience that is always changing—brought to life by Digistar 7.
