In other pop news, the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync are the focus of a popular 3-D laser light show at the Museum Of Science And History's Alexander Brest Planetarium in Jacksonville, Florida.

The hour-long show features a color laser system, which projects images that correspond with each song on the ceiling of the 60-foot dome. For example, when 'N Sync's "Tearin' Up My Heart" plays, viewers see a visual of a heart shape tearing in half. The music of both 'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys blasts on an 18,000-watt, state-of-the-art digital sound system during the show. The laser show takes place seven days a week at 4 p.m. ET and will run until September 4. For more information, call the Alexander Brest Planetarium at (904) 396-7062.
