This man-made Universe is produced by a
central projector, which throws the image of the heavenly bodies onto
the screen dome. Computer controlled video and slide projectors add
virtual-reality impact, creating a breathtaking experience.
Show prices including the exhibition with discounts are Children from £1.60 and Adults £3.20 but you must
book on-line or by telephone to get these low prices.
Before or after the show, make sure you leave time to explore the
various space-science displays, space art and computer simulations
in the exhibition area. This year, there is a new permanent
exhibition dedicated to the work of the great scientist/inventor
Robert Hooke, who was born in Freshwater in 1635.
