Program Note:

 

A NASA astronaut during her visit at the Orbital Oasis is mistakenly abducted by alien conservationists who believe humans are endangered and will be extinct within the next month. They placed her in an interstellar zoo.

 

Inside this cosmic sanctuary, she finds herself surrounded not only by Earth's long-lost dinosaurs, dodos, and mammoths, but also by extinct beings from distant galaxies - creatures with crystalline skeletons, sentient moss, and atmospheric jellyfish that once drifted through vapor planets.

 

The zoo is a paradox: both beautiful and unsettling, a eulogy to biodiversity across the stars.
