IMAX® Deep Sky

Deep Sky brings you the awe-inspiring images captured by NASA's Webb Telescope in IMAX and on Alberta’s largest screen — taking you on a journey to the beginning of time and space, to never-before-seen cosmic landscapes, and to recently discovered exoplanets, planets around other stars.

Directed by Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Nathaniel Kahn and narrated by Oscar®-nominated actress Michelle Williams, Deep Sky follows the high-stakes global mission to build NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and to launch it into orbit one million miles from Earth.

The JWST studies every phase in the history of our Universe to attempt to answer questions that have haunted us since the beginning of time: Where did we come from? How did the universe begin? Are we alone?

Thirteen billion years in the making, Deep Sky reveals the universe as we have never seen it before; immersing you in the stunning pictures beamed back to earth by NASA’s new telescope — and capturing their vast beauty at a scale that can only be experienced on the giant IMAX screen.

Don’t miss this amazing closer look from the beginning of time to inside dust clouds where stars and planetary systems are forming today. Get your tickets now!
