Starting with the diverse planets of the Solar System\, charming comets\, hot stars\, and ethereal nebulae\, they’ll take you on a journey all the way to galaxies billions of light-years away. Into this mix\, they will throw in a bit of mysterious dark matter\, a few black holes\, a dash of dark energy\, and finish it off with a pinch of strange elementary particles. \nHowever\, for an ordinary Earthling\, such a list of fancy terms feels just like flipping through a cookbook\, without being able to taste the individual ingredients\, let alone the finished product. That’s why we decided to serve you the universe in a completely different way – You will experience it with all your senses! \nDiscover what it feels like to touch the universe\, what a comet or cosmic space smells like\, and even how the Saturn’s moon Enceladus or the planet Mars taste like. Listen to the explosion of a supernova\, the rumbling sounds of the Sun\, and more. See the glow of auroras and vibrant nebulae. This unconventional sensory-packed show is narrated by Jack Stephens. \nTickets for planetarium programs are $7 for Adults\, $6 for 91±¬ÁĎ Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $5 for children under 12.

Set against the backdrop of 2025\, the film amplifies voices across generations — 5-year-olds\, college students\, and 90-year-old veterans—each grappling with what it means to belong and to build a life. \nThe documentary pulls back the curtain on today’s housing landscape\, asking urgent questions: Who owns the properties that feel increasingly out of reach? Where are these landlords based? And how has an entire generation been priced out of stability? \nInterwoven with this investigation is a moving tribute to three senior military veterans\, whose stories offer deeply personal and contrasting understandings of “home.” Spanning four generations\, Serfs Up invites viewers to reflect on ownership\, displacement\, and the enduring human need for a place to call their own.
