PLANETARIUM SHOWS
At StarDome we know how important it is
to inspire people of all ages. We have many full dome shows now that enthuse and inspire
all ages about the wonders of the Universe
We want you to leave our shows with a feeling of inspiration, of knowledge and of wanting to know more
For children especially to have their questions answered in a way that they understand
The planetarium experience is one that people young and old alike will remember for many years.
StarDome presentations are tailored to your requirements. We are flexible in our approach and we are always willing to help and advise.
StarDome fits in with your existing school or event timetable minimizing disruption You know your timetable better than us so we are happy to fit in with you. Presentation lengths vary between 20 minutes and 1 hour depending on the group and include the very latest news & images from around the world and beyond.
All our presentations are presenter led, not just a recording or film.
Sessions will allow time for entry and exit of the planetarium
along with time for a Q & A session

"THE SOLAR SYSTEM

with large images projected on to the dome
with digital projection.
The images will include the latest and best from NASA and Andy's other world wide space sources.
We then embark on a journey of discovery with the planetarium show - the highlight of any dome presentation.
A sky which is always clear and free from any light pollution!
The commentary is live no gimmicks required!
No taped voice-over presentations are used
We are confident in our subject knowledge
When the dome lights dim to a gasp from the audience we see 3000 stars appear in a perfect night sky free from light pollution. We trace constellation patterns, find star clusters, galaxies and planets.
A whirling, dizzying spin then takes us to the North pole to find the North star
then back to our home and then to the Equator.
Maybe even time for a trip to Florida in the USA or down under to Australia to glimpse some of the Southern stars & constellations including the Southern Cross.
StarLore - how other cultures interpreted the night sky,
the Polynesians, the Africans, the Aboriginal people, the Egyptians
question-and-answer session and Email Questions if required
We hope to allow you to further your space understanding and knowledge.
