Synopsis:	How did life on Earth begin? This tantalizing question forms the basis of the California Academy of Science's Morrison Planetarium show, "Life: A Cosmic Story". 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 powers-of-ten dive into a redwood tree to illustrate photosynthesis and demonstrate the interconnectedness of all life on the molecular level. The show's complex imagery includes collaborations with the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology, and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications.
