Exploration

Space theatre re-opens with 3 new shows

The Hong Kong Space Museum's space theatre will re-open on July 1 with a new look after closing for more than seven months for renovations.

 

Come see the new look and enjoy three new shows.

 

The theatre's new seats are installed with a multi-language system offering narration in more than four languages.

 

Two new sky shows, Extreme Planets and Dawn of the Space Age, and one Omnimax show, The Alps, will be showing from July 1.

 

The 35-minute "Extreme Planets" explores what makes a planet "Earth-like", and takes show-goers on a tour of several worlds that just might fit the conditions we are looking for - from water worlds to molten landscapes, inhabitable moons to planets with multiple suns.

 

The 41-minute "Dawn of the Space Age" brings to life the excitement of the early days of space exploration and chronicles the major milestones of the space age - from the historic launch of the first artificial satellite "Sputnik 1", man's heroic entry into space, the first spacewalk, the lunar landings, to the recent privately operated space flights.

  

The 45-minute Omnimax show, "The Alps", will take audiences to scale the Eiger, a mountain in the Swiss Alps, with three climbers. Not only will audiences experience the thrill of climbing, but they will also be able to appreciate the stunning scenery and learn about the region's culture.
