Minnesota Water Stories (Starting June 11th)

Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes. It is the land where the water reflects the sky. Water is essential to life and we all have connections to it, yet there are challenges threatening our waters.

A Planet for Goldilocks (Starting June 29th)
Recommended for ages 8+ | 30 minutes
The search for a planet like Earth - one with temperatures, oceans, and an atmosphere suitable for life has been a little like Goldilocks' search for a decent bowl of porridge: some are too hot, some are too cold, but some are "just right." Learn the techniques astonomers have already used to find thousands of tiny, dark worlds in orbit around distant stars - some in the Goldilocks Zone.

Far Out! (Starting June 29th)
Recommended for all ages | 30 minutes
Launch farther out than ever before. Journey to planets beyond our solar system, visit a black hole, or travel to the edge of our visible universe. The only thing expanding faster than the universe will be your sense of amazement!
