Visit Dynamic Earth and enjoy a seasonal presenter-led Planetarium show, What’s Up: Chasing the Moon! Come stargazing under the night sky as it will appear this National Astronomy Week.
Join our astronomers as we chase the Moon across the sky past three planets and a treasure-trove of stars. Along the way you’ll find your place in the Solar System, discover a nursery of baby stars born in the time of the dinosaurs, and learn how to test the darkness of your night sky. All you need do is look up!
Times may vary. Check the Planetarium schedule for show times on the day of your visit.
Please note that this has already taken place on 18/01/2025
