In case you haven’t heard, we human types have done a pretty thorough job of mucking up the planet on which we live. And while global warming and ecological degradation raise troubling questions about the future of Earth, a new California Academy of Sciences film, debuting this week as a planetarium show, looks at the issue from a different angle. “Living Worlds” offers a deep dive into our search for life on other planets, and how studying humankind’s impact on Earth aids that search.
“’Living Worlds’ takes viewers on a journey to answer some of our biggest questions: How does understanding life’s influence on our planet inform our search for life elsewhere —and what would it mean to find evidence for extraterrestrial life?,” says Ryan Wyatt, senior director of Morrison Planetarium and Science Visualization at the museum.
The film covers the various ways we are searching for extraterrestrial civilizations as well as how life finds a home even in some extreme conditions on Earth, including the very Mars-like Atacama Desert in Chile, which supports a variety of living things on its stark environment.
“Living Worlds” also serves up lots of eye-popping imagery and, maybe best of all, is narrated by Oakland native Daveed Diggs.
Details: Opens Friday; Morrison Planetarium at California Academy of Sciences, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco; timed reservations and proof of vaccination or negative COVID test required; daytime admission (includes access to planetarium) $30-$37.50; https://www.calacademy.org/
