Tilt

Find out how the seasons work!

It's a crazy day when snow starts falling and it’s the middle of summer! But sometimes crazy days are just what you need to discover something new. Join Annie, Max and their robot friend for a whirlwind adventure. It’s surprising what a new angle on the world can do.

They examine the apparent path of the Sun and Earth's tilt to find out about the day-night cycle and why it is different at different places on Earth and at different times of the year. They understand how the seasons are opposite in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres and are caused by two factors — Earth's tilt and our planet's path around the Sun.

Starlight

For thousands of years we have looked to the stars at night in wonder and awe. Starlight is told through the eyes of Margaret, as she steps back in time to relive childhood fears of the dark that awoke her curiosity about the night sky. Margaret takes audiences on a journey to discover constellations and ancient cultures, the birth and death of a star, and the inner workings of our Sun.

Death of the Dinosaurs

What killed the dinosaurs? See how these giants lived and survived on the earth millions of years ago and even watch the cataclysmic event that lead to their ultimate extinction.

Dinosaur Prophecy

The latest from the California Academy of Sciences...

Spark: The Universe in Us

Where did the building blocks of life come from?

Travel inside a giant star nearing the end of its life, witness stellar corpses colliding, and experience the quiet demise of a Sun-like star.

With English narration by Diego Luna, the California Academy of Sciences’ 2023 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.

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!
