Visitors can get an up-close view of treasured memorabilia tracing the history of baseball, as well as an interactive experience revealing the science behind the stats. See actual mementos from legendary feats, including the record-breaking home run bats of Babe Ruth, Roger Maris, and Mark McGwire, Curt Schilling's bloody sock from game two of the 2004 World Series, and the hat worn by Mike Lowell when he was the 2007 World Series MVP (pictured at right). Discover how moments such as these have turned mortal men — and women — into superstars, playing in stadiums that achieved status as near-holy locales. Learn how teams evolved as enterprises as the league expanded, and see how the aura of baseball also piqued a nation's imagination, propelling the game off the field and into our literature, movie theaters, and beyond. Finally, explore the science behind the game with interactive exhibits that examine everything from the anatomy of a baseball to the various types of dirt at Fenway Park.

Although Pluto is relatively round and orbits the Sun, it's also part of the Kuiper Belt, a band of frigid chunks where Pluto isn't even the biggest object on the block. By defining a planet for the first time, the union cut Pluto from the nine-planet solar system that had been a fundamental part of our science education for so long. In this new Planetarium show, get a sense of what it's like to be an astronomer searching for undiscovered space objects. Gain an understanding of why Pluto is now considered a dwarf planet, and follow NASA's New Horizons spacecraft as it embarks on the long journey to study Pluto more closely than ever before.
