The Hong Kong Space Museum will launch a new sky show, "STARMAP to the Unseen Universe", at its Space Theatre from tomorrow (May 15), leading audiences on a journey and traversing 13.8 billion years of cosmic history in search of the universe's origin from the Earth.
The Milky Way Galaxy is a galaxy composed of hundreds of billions of stars. The sun is one of the stars within this massive galaxy. The show will take audiences on an adventure beyond the boundaries of the solar system, explore the spiral arms of the Milky Way, and witness the birth and death of stars. The show will also reveal the all-consuming power of a black hole and showcase the process of the collision and merging of galaxies into a larger galaxy. Audiences can also closely admire the luminous members of the Pleiades star cluster in the constellation Taurus and the Orion Nebula.
The 28-minute show will be screened until November 14. Screening times are 3.30 pm and 8 pm on weekdays, and 2 pm and 6.30 pm on weekends and public holidays respectively. Tickets priced at HK$30 (front stalls) and HK$40 (stalls) are now available at the Hong Kong Space Museum Box Office and URBTIX. For details of the show, please visit hk.space.museum/en/web/spm/shows/sky-show/starmap.html, or call 2721 0226 for enquiries.
The Hong Kong Space Museum, located at 10 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, is closed on Tuesdays (except public holidays).
