About this show

This tantalizing question forms the basis of this California Academy of Science's Morrison Planetarium show. Narrated by Jodie Foster, Life launches the audience on a journey through time, witnessing key events since the Big Bang, that set the stage for life. Life features scientific visualizations including a power-of-ten dive into a redwood tree to show photosynthesis and demonstrate the interconnectedness of all life on the molecular level.
