Greenwich without a planetarium is like Greenwich without Meantime: against the natural order of things. Fortunately, while the iconic one at the Observatory is closed for a massive makeover for a couple of years, the good old Maritime Museum has stepped into the gap with its new temporary exhibition Astronomers Take Over. It’s an immersive, family-friendly celebration of our galaxy and all things space, but the undoubted highlight is the pop-up planetarium that will show a variety of films for kids of all ages, ranging from Animals in Space! for the little ones to the more sober The Night Sky for those lookinh for something a bit more stats heavy.
