Scenes when the actual planetarium (the machine that projects the stars onto the screen) is shown, are of the Adler Planetariums in Chicago, Illinois.
The actual Parker Probe passed 3.8 million miles from the sun's surface breaking previous records. Early in this movie, there is a reference to the Porter Probe (Kat's project) doing that. This movie is in 2023. The Parker Probe accomplished this feat almost exactly a year later on Dec. 24. 2024.
