Planetarium Show

Join us as we study the night sky to understand the constellation we see from the UK before we take off into space, pausing briefly at the International Space Station and the Moon before heading towards the Sun and the inner planets. We then visit Mars, the gas gains, Jupiter and Saturn with their amazing moon. Then, we went onto cold Uranus, Neptune, and the dwarf planets before heading past the Oort cloud into deep interstellar space. Narrated live by professional astrophysicist, Mark Gallaway, this is a 45 voyage through the Solar System and beyond!

The 1pm show will be – From Earth to the Universe

The night sky, both beautiful and mysterious, has been the subject of campfire stories, ancient myths and awe for as long as there have been people. A desire to comprehend the Universe may well be humanity’s oldest shared intellectual experience. Yet we have only begun to grasp our place in the vast cosmos. To learn about this journey of celestial discovery, from the theories of the ancient Greek astronomers to today’s grandest telescopes, we invite you to experience From Earth to the Universe.

This stunning, 30-minute voyage through space and time conveys, through sparkling sights and sounds, the Universe revealed to us by science. Viewers can revel in the splendour of the worlds in the Solar System and our scorching Sun. From Earth to the Universe takes the audience out to the colourful birthplaces and burial grounds of stars and still further out beyond the Milky Way to the unimaginable immensity of myriad galaxies.

Along the way, the audience will learn about the history of astronomy, the invention of the telescope, and today’s giant telescopes that allow us to probe ever deeper into the Universe.

This event will be at Haverhill Arts Centre.
