Birth of Planet Earth

Birth of Planet Earth tells the twisted tale of our planet's origins. Scientists now believe that our galaxy is filled with solar systems, including up to a billion planets roughly the size of our own.

Photosynthesis is the key; it  has allowed Earth's atmosphere to support life.

Every Planetarium show includes a discussion session on astronomy and a live presentation showing Tasmania's current night sky.
