Out of devastating events in the cosmos comes new creation.á  Explosive phenomena are responsible for the way we see the Universe today.

When giant stars explode as supernovae they seed the galaxies with the heavy elements that make planets and life possible.á  Other explosions have profound effects as well, such as the beauty and power of the supervolcanoes which have contributed to the transformation of our world into the life-bearing oasis we now enjoy.á 

As the Universe has transformed into the structure we live in now, even the most elementary particles have endured.á  This show follows the path of one of these particles, a proton, as it participates in nature's astounding events of rebirth and renewal.
