The Griffith Observatory’s “Signs of Life” opens May 20. It is the first signature production to be created exclusively for the Samuel Oschin Planetarium at Griffith Observatory in more than a decade, “Signs of Life” is an award win­ning, astronomical detective story that propels visitors to uncover what it took to put life in the uni­verse. The film was produced by a team of artists, including scientists, astronomers and Oscar-and-Emmy-winning Bob Niemack. “Signs of Life” immerses audi­ences in the environments and con­ditions that put life in the universe – Earth is the launchpad to Mars, the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and planets beyond our Milky Way Galaxy in a search for answers to the mysteries that captivate our imagination.

The Griffith Observatory is locat­ed at 2800 East Observatory Road.
