☄️Comet C/2025 R3 PANSTARRS appears in the southern hemisphere evening sky after its recent closest approach to the Sun. It is expected to be visible to the naked eye from late April through early May then quickly fade. Look for it in the west after sunset.

Discover the Sun's siblings that also formed in that vast cloud of gas and dust, explore the powerful nuclear reactions that make it shine, and see what the distant future holds as it swells into a red giant before fading into a stellar remnant.

Through stunning visuals and immersive storytelling, uncover how the life cycle of our nearest star has shaped the solar system—and how its fate will transform it. Join us under the dome to experience the past, present and far-future of our magnificent star.
