Chasing the Moon Planetarium Show
Wednesday 5th February 2025 from 13:00pm to 13:30pm
Thinktank - Birmingham Science Museum
Millenium Point, Birmingham, West Midlands, B4 7XG
Come stargazing in the Planetarium, and see the night sky as it will appear this National Astronomy Week. Join us 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!
