Unique stargazing in UK’s only 3D planetarium

By Bristol24/7  Wednesday Jun 17, 2015


The UK’s first 3D planetarium will be offering Bristolians the chance to enjoy some very special stargazing this summer.

In response to popular demand, At-Bristol Science Centre is launching Planetarium Nights, a series of brand new 3D shows exploring the glory of our solar system.

Wannabe astronauts can take a tour of the glittering summer night sky and blast off into space to fly through the rings of Saturn, explore a black hole and witness the spectacle of our Milky Way Galaxy.

The Planetarium Nights Summer Stargazing show will use the latest digital 3D technology to give visitors a stunning, immersive view of space like never before.

Lydia Ladbrooke, At-Bristol’s commercial manager, said: “We’ve listened to feedback and requests from our visitors, so it’s great to know that there is an appetite for planetarium-only shows for an adult audience, as well as the wider family-focused offer that we have. We’re very proud of our new 3D planetarium, so it’ll be a chance for visitors to dip in to sample some of what At-Bristol offers, and of course, it’ll be a fantastic evening exploring the Solar System in awe-inspiring 3D!”
