Messengers of Time and Space (Planetarium Show)

Messengers of Time and Space is a new fulldome planetarium show designed to illuminate the imminent revolution in astronomy driven by time-domain and multi-messenger observations.

Explore the dynamic cosmos and witness the transformative impact of real-time data on our understanding of the Universe.

The planetarium show highlights ways in which we will monitor the night sky for exciting astronomical events that change with time, like the new Vera C Rubin Observatory.

Sometimes, light is not the only indicator of these short-term events. Audiences will learn how information can reach us through other messengers like cosmic rays, elusive particles called neutrinos, and even gravitational waves rippling through the Universe.

Tickets are £8.00 for an adult, £6.40 for a child (4-15) Please note that children must be accompanied by an adult.

Suitable for: Ages 4 and over. Aimed at Teens/Adults. Not suitable for children aged 3 and under.

Note: A planetarium ticket does not include the opportunity to visit our observatory building or look through our telescope.
