Science Centre Spotting
As the May break is approaching for the school term I’ve decided to indulge in some “science centre spotting”. I’ve been itching to get up to Scotland for a number of months now and since visiting the ROG last week I’m heading further noth to visit the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh. Some where along the way I’m taking a detour to visit the Glasgow Science Centre and the Centre for Life in Newcastle. The common link here are planetariums, I’ll soon be spending the next few months based at one in Yorkshire, and I have lots of ideas for shows. Glasgow also have a Zeiss projector which is analog, not digital. I’ve still not got used to having audiences shout wow when the lights dim and the Milky Way appears !
Speaking of planetarium shows, the guys at the National Space Centre in Leicester held their premiere last night of “We are Astronomers”, the show goes live in a number of planetaria across the UK this Saturday, there’s a link below with a trailer so enjoy!
