Sunshine is a loveable cartoon Sun, and he doesn’t care if the children get loud or excited: in fact, he wants them to look around, raise their hands, sing, and play along with his tricks. Adults have to join in too!

During the fun and games, the stars of the night sky are gently revealed and Sunshine explores some simple colors and counting.

Sunshine is self contained, but a live presenter is recommended to get the audience interacting fully.

The Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence

The prospect that we may not be alone in the universe is taken as a fact by the movies, writers, and a great many scientists. As yet, we have no hard evidence of another living thing outside planet Earth. S.E.T.I. The Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence—is a show that explores all sides of this topic, from the planets we are finding around other stars, to the feasibility of travelling to the stars, and what aliens might actually be like, to the possibility that UFOs have been visiting and the various methods that scientists are using to get in touch. Will we make contact in our lifetimes? This stunning immersive show guides you through the myriad of ideas to a surprising conclusion.



“Totality” – “Totality” is a fascinating look at all the wonders of eclipses, especially total solar eclipses. An eclipse is described simply as when one celestial object blocks another from our view. This program, produced by Bays Mountain Planetarium, examines what eclipses are, how and when they occur, and what wonderful sights they create. We also look back to a fascinating period in scientific discovery when general relativity was proven with the photographic recording of a total solar eclipse.

Our production includes a variety of wonderful styles – from spectacular space environments to humorous pop-up books. A very special part of the show relates, in a very human way, what happens when you are caught in the shadow of the Moon and the Sun is plunged into a total solar eclipse. You will love this program.

A fantastic sky lore program covering the Greek, Egyptian, and Inupiaq cultures.

We learn how each of these rich cultures viewed the same stars, but had different stories and images. Told in first-person in the context of the teller’s life, we experience their ancient star lore and imagery.

This program is not only great for the general public, but is an incredible elementary school experience. This show is best for 2nd grade and above, but even younger ones will enjoy the storytelling imagery and theme. This is storytelling at its best. A wonderful blend of imagery, music, and word; it’s a treat for all.

On a clear, dark night, most of us, at one time or another, have gazed upon the stars and wondered about all those tiny points of light. Many of us are able to identify different patterns and constellations in the stars. But, what are those tiny points of light? This exciting program takes viewers beyond a simple observation of the night sky and delves into the fascinating lives of stars.

When we look up at the night sky, we can see that stars vary in brightness and have many different colors. The program reveals what is similar to all stars and what makes them unique. In “Discover the Stars,” we explore the many facets of a stars’ life. One of which is to venture deep into a giant molecular cloud to witness the birth of a new star. Stars also do not last forever. The program looks at the different ways that stars end their lives and the astronomical wonders that are left behind.

“Discover the Stars” will give viewers a deeper understanding and appreciation of the night sky. Great script, visuals and music (by internationally-known space-music artist Jonn Serrie) make this a wonderful show about stars for your public and school group audience.

The show is best for 4th grade and above.

This full-dome planetarium show has been produced in a number of ways permitting your facility to select the best format that fits your needs. The various versions are listed below:

1-Full-dome format that has a place to pause that allows a live presenter to lead an interactive presentation highlighting three key attributes of stars. Once playback restarts, the three key points are then displayed on the dome to allow the live presenter to review.

2-Full-dome format that plays the entire content without pausing and includes the narrator’s voice to present the three key attributes of stars.

3-Same as #1, but with no digital stars in certain sections to allow the use of your optical star projector.

4-Same as #2, but with no digital stars in certain sections to allow the use of your optical star projector.

“Discover the Stars” was produced by a group of very talented and experienced individuals here at Bays Mountain.  Bays Mountain Productions is one of the very few planetarium theaters in the world that creates their own complex, professional-level full-dome shows and makes them available for world-wide distribution.  Driven to forge excellence in the field, our main goal is to fulfill the needs of the planetarian.  Our shows are educationally-driven, but chock full of fun and amazing graphics and music.  Our pricing is also designed to be affordable since we understand the financial needs of the planetarian.  We think you’ll be quite pleased with our content.

A truly immersive and breathtaking experience. This full-dome planetarium show was designed to illustrate the beauty and majesty of the natural outdoors, the night sky, the Solar System, and the universe. Combined with a wonderful soundtrack, it has brought forth the most amazing response from our audiences. All ages truly love this show. Excellent for 1st grade and above, but can easily be shown to K level.

Special Note: This program was designed to highlight many of our special capabilities in our theater.  We have a Zeiss ZKP star projector and Zeiss Spacegate running on Powerdome which also uses Uniview.  We have a fully programmable ECCS LED cove lighting system in addition.  Therefore, at this time, your facility would need to be able to provide a similar capability to give the show.  To run in your theater, you would need full-dome playback, the ability to program constellation lines, constellation outlines, text, project an optical star field, have multi-colored cove lighting and a license to use the AMNH database in a program akin to Uniview (this does not include the free database from AMNH for home/personal use).

As a special added feature, professionally-pressed CDs are available to sell in your gift shop of the outstanding soundtrack created and performed by Jason Dorfman.
