Celebrate Science

Great North Nights
Space themed exhibitions and talks aimed at the general public after hours in the Hancock Museum. We provided a fly through tour of the EAGLE simulations, exploring the large scale structure of dark matter.
Planetarium
The planetarium is an inflatable dome which can travel to schools to bring the night sky into the classroom. We provide 30 to 40-minute talks about the night sky and our solar system. The content of the talk is adapted for all ages and knowledge levels.
