A journey through the universe and a feast for the senses, MarsBand mixes stunning virtual astronomical panoramas, the expert guidance of astrophysicist Paul M. Sutter, and a live music performance by award winning composer Keith Patchel.
First developed over countless late-night hours at the American Museum of Natural History's Hayden Planetarium, no two shows are ever alike, and your view of the cosmos will never be the same!
