Dr Dan Brown (NTU) will explore aspects of global citizenship in his short interactive planetarium show. We will explore star signs, constellations, sky cultures, and how we all see one sky but understand it in many different ways. This session will show how constellations tell us about the people that created them. The sky offers us a mirror to reflect on our society. Each planetarium session will start with a 10 min welcome and H&S induction. The main show will be approximately 15min long. Participants will be seated on the floor for the show.

Should participants have any access requirements, please contact our staff during the welcome. Please note that entry to the planetarium is without shoes and we advise to leave bags and coats outside. We have supporting staff looking after your belongings.

Show timings are 10:45 / 11:30 / 12:15 / 13:00 / 13:45 / 14:30 / 15:15
