HARRISON FORD TO NARRATE NEW SPACE SHOW IN HAYDEN PLANETARIUM AT THE ROSE CENTER FOR EARTH AND SPACE
AT THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY
The Search for Life: Are We Alone? Premieres March 2nd
Academy Award-nominated actor Harrison Ford will narrate the American Museum of Natural History's thrilling new Space Show, The Search for Life: Are We Alone? which premieres at the Museum's Hayden Planetarium in the Rose Center for Earth and Space on March 2, 2002. With Ford as their guide, audiences will embark on a cosmic journey exploring a question that has always captivated the human imagination: Does life exist beyond Earth? Ford steers us from the oceans' depths to recently discovered "exoplanets"—planets outside our solar system—through a scientifically accurate simulation of the birth of stars and planets, and even to the surface of Mars, which has been re-created from data collected by NASA's Pathfinder mission and is projected in a stunning 360° panorama on the Hayden Planetarium dome—all on a quest for worlds that just might support life.

Ford has appeared in 27 films, including Star Wars, Fugitive, Air Force One, Apocalypse Now, What Lies Beneath, and the Indiana Jones film saga, which is said to be loosely based on the adventures of famed American Museum of Natural History dinosaur hunter Roy Chapman Andrews.
