We are showing three film shows in our current regular schedule:
Astronaut ** New show! ** The exploration of space is the greatest endeavour that humankind has ever undertaken. What does it take to be part of this incredible journey? What does it take to become an astronaut? Experience a rocket launch from inside the body of an astronaut. Explore the amazing worlds of inner and outer space, from floating around the International Space Station to manoeuvring through microscopic regions of the human body. Narrated by Ewan McGregor. A great fun family show.
Black Holes: Beyond Infinity Cross the cosmic threshold into the bizarre realm of a black hole. Stunning graphics take you to the beginning of the Universe and let you watch colliding galaxies before showing you what it might be like to actually fall into a black hole. Narrated by Liam Neeson. This show has slightly more complicated science than our others and amazing graphics! Cosmic Journey III Go on a tour of the solar system, discovering icy worlds, speeding comets and eerie moons. Explore the places where alien life might be lurking close to Earth, and find out why there really is no place like home. A lovely gentle show.

Flight Through the Universe A chance to take an amazing flight around the solar system and out to the far reaches of the Universe. Our planetarium manager Jenny will be at the computer controlling everything you see in real-time and describing the incredible sights. The best way ever to get an idea of just how big space is! A truly inspirational show. |
Watch out for other special planetarium shows - for instance there are short presenter-led shows about the month's sky as part of each Space Lecture event. Find details of special shows on our long-term events calendar as well as on the planetarium showtimes calendar.
