Planetarium

Product Information

Planetarium is a superb look; my whole family absolutely loves it. Professor Prinja's expert text is so very informative and a joy to digest. When coupled with Chris Wormell's amazing illustrations, the book takes us deep into an incredible Universe! Our 4K planetarium system has bright, sharp images and crystal clear surround-sound. It the only one of its kind in the West Midlands. The Planetarium is epic. A massive screen is all around you to make you feel like you're flying through space. Look over there – there's stars and planets and action everywhere! A planetarium is a theatre under a dome, specially designed to help you explore astronomy, space, and the night sky. At Royal Museums Greenwich we want to make sure that we deliver a welcoming and enjoyable environment for all visitors.
