Take a tour of the night sky, in this presenter-led show.
See what the night sky actually looks like on the day of your visit without clouds or light pollution spoiling the view! This show is an ideal introduction for newbie stargazers. You will learn how to find the north star before locating the three brilliant stars Vega, Deneb and Altair – also known as the Summer Triangle.
Explore the tale of The Cowherd and the Weavergirl, a Chinese folktale connected to the Summer Triangle.
Then fly through the solar system, where you can vote for which planets to visit. And finally, hear about the places we have yet to explore in the universe and the planets outside our solar system that could support extraterrestrial life!
Shows are on at various times throughout the day and times are available on arrival. During busy times, we request that you visit the Planetarium once – this is to allow other visitors to enjoy the experience too.
