The Space Dome has landed at The Centre, Livingston where visitors to the shopping centre can enjoy a 360° planetarium film experience through the galaxy and take part in science-themed activities, created by the astronomer, Zee Dinally, including handling 4.6-billion-year-old Campo Del Ceilo meteorites from Argentina.
The free event, which will take place until Monday the 27th October, is located beside Waterstones.
It is designed to provide an immersive, educational and fun experience where you can learn about natural astronomical objects including stars, planets, the moon, asteroids, comets and galaxies, and meteorites thatreveal the ancient geometry of the solar system.
There will also be a Virtual Reality Zone with headsets and astronaut costumes for children to embark on their own virtual solar trip and inflatable space props.
