Planetarium by Raman Prinja, Chris Wormell | Waterstones

A planetarium is a theatre under a dome, specially designed to help you explore astronomy, space, and the night sky.It could be said that physics is the science of absolutely everything: clouds to cars, time to rainbows and rain to sandwiches. But, as a subject, it can seem a bit complicated – or, can it? You can also enjoy spectacular fulldome films, like "We Are Aliens" which is narrated by Rupert Grinch. These are displayed 360° across the 15-metre hemispherical dome of the Planetarium giving a truly immersive experience. Written by an astrophysicist from University College London and illustrated by the phenomenally talented Chris Wormell, Planetarium explores the solar system, the sun, the night sky as seen from Earth, the stars, galaxies, and the universe as we know it. If you have a wheelchair, we have spaces for you to sit with seats for your family and friends. The stairs have lights to make them easy to see. We've also got super 3D printed models and NASA's official tactile books. You can use them when you watch a show. Our fulldome film shows have subtitles and there's an induction loop. Need ear defenders? We can help with those. Room lighting is left at a higher level, bright enough that you can walk around safely, and leave and re-enter the show if you wish.
