Did you know that WSC has the UK's largest capacity planetarium? The enormous tilted dome screen completely surrounds you, placing you right in the action. Relax back into your reclined seat and fly through the solar system, visit a black hole, or find out what you can see in the sky tonight. Both pre-recorded and live shows are shown and it's well worth a visit.
Their Space Lectures are also worth attending.
