Be absorbed into the vastness of space at the Hong Kong Space Museum, which has launched a brand-new sky show in their circular dome-like Space Theatre. The ‘Starmap to the Unseen Universe’ show takes audiences on a journey that traverses space and time across 13.8 billion years in search of the universe’s origin.

The Milky Way is a galaxy that comprises hundreds of billions of stars, including the solar system that we exist in. Our Sun is just one of the stars within this immense cosmic system – how’s that for feeling like an inconsequential speck? This space show, however, explores beyond the boundaries of the solar system and out towards the spiral arms of the Milky Way. Audiences can experience the birth and death of stars, see the all-consuming power of a black hole, and witness the collision and merging of galaxies into an even larger galaxy.
