Echoes of the Sun

State-of-the-art computer graphics combine with live action and special effects to bring dazzling 3D images to the giant dome screen. 3D computer graphics and live action vignettes combine to illustrate how photosynthesis converts the sun's energy into stored energy in plants, which then provides energy to animals and humans. You are shrunk down to molecular size and travel with a water molecule in its journey towards energy production. The vivid colors, coupled with 3D technology, turn this journey into an action-packed roller coaster ride.
