A hands-on astronomy space for families to meet astronomers, see demonstrations and planetarium shows.
About
Astronomers Take Over is a new space for families at the National Maritime Museum that hosts astronomy activities while works are carried out at the Royal Observatory Greenwich. This playful hands-on experience gives visitors the opportunity to meet astronomers, participate in science demonstrations and ask questions about outer space. While the Peter Harrison Planetarium is closed for refurbishment, Astronomers Take Over features an alternative planetarium where visitors can learn all about the night sky, with a variety of shows led by astronomers.
