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.

A planetarium is a theatre under a dome, specially designed to help you explore astronomy, space, and the night sky. Starting just 100 kilometres above our planet, space stretches further than we can imagine, and only now are we starting to unravel some of its many mysteries. The Planetarium is epic. A massive screen is all around you to make you feel like you're flying through space. Look over there – there's stars and planets and action everywhere! The presenter will describe everything before it happens, giving plenty of time for you to prepare for any changes in light levels, imagery or sounds.The Royal Observatory at Greenwich is the home of time and space, the Prime Meridian and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). But have you ever stopped to ask what is the Prime Meridian and why it is at Greenwich? Why are all time zones across the world based on GMT? What is longitude and why is the meridian moving?
