Narrated by LeVar Burton, In Saturn’s Rings is a grand tour of the universe starring Saturn. 7.5 million mostly unseen images from the Cassini-Huygens Mission to Saturn, Sloan Digital Sky Survey, Hubble Telescope and Milky Way time lapses are brought to life in a ground-breaking epic immersive journey across space and time. From the earliest images after the Big Bang to the final photographs Cassini took before plunging to die in Saturn’s clouds, In Saturn’s Rings is, like space exploration itself, a journey of the heart, mind and spirit that moves audiences with awe-inspiring images and powerful music. In Saturn’s Rings contains some of the most amazing space footage ever, including a 10-day and night, five-camera Milky Way Timelapse, a stunning view of millions of individual galaxies in a single frame, and a jaw-dropping flyover over Saturn’s moon Titan connected with locations on Earth with never-before-seen imagery. DCI-Compliant Digital and Laser available May 4th, IMAX Digital & Laser shortly after and 15/70mm later in summer. Native fulldome digital Q3 2018.

Length: 22:00 and 40:00
