Pursuing the Dwarfs fulldome planetarium show poster

Pursuing the Dwarfs

Pursuing the Dwarfs fulldome planetarium show posterThe categorisation of Dwarf Planets splits the world into two parts: one that loved Pluto as planet and the others who preferred simpler cataloging of celestial bodies.

Dwarf planets are the worlds too small to be considered as fully-fledged planets, but large enough not to be classified as asteroids. They were born the same way as our eight Planets, but somehow along the way, they stopped developing further. These embryonic planets hold the key to the secrets of planetary evolution.

Join us as we take a glimpse of the wee class of Dwarf Planets in our fulldome show ‘Pursuing the Dwarfs’.

Once upon the Big Bang fulldome planetarium show poster

Once upon the Big Bang

Once upon the Big Bang fulldome planetarium show posterThe Big Bang Theory is one of the leading explanations of how the universe came into existence.

The universe as we know it, started with a singularity, inflating over the next 13.8 billion years to the cosmos that we know today. Current technology is still insufficient to peer back at the time of universe’s birth, hence much of what we understand about the Big Bang Theory came from mathematical theory and models.

“Once upon the Big Bang” explores the fascinating events of the birth of time and space: the beginning of universe from an Infinitesimal point to a tiny Super-hot speck to the enormous Cosmos of our Era. Enjoy the 3D graphics that will take you on an immersive journey to the instance of the Big Bang.
